HP 8970 Noise Figure Measurement Family |
Noise figure measurements from 10 to 1600 MHz (2047 MHz optional)
are easy, accurate, and repeatable with the HP 8970B noise figure meter.
You save precious time, money, and resources, since the measurements are
done quickly and accurately. In addition, the wide dynamic range of the
HP 8970B allows simultaneous gain measurements up to 40 dB or loss
measurements to 20 dB, with no external attenuation or amplification.
The HP 8970S/V noise figure measurement systems remove the burden of
designing, building, and supporting a microwave noise figure measurement
system. You can now spend your time designing and building products,
not test systems. Each system consists of an HP 8970B noise figure
meter, HP 8971C noise figure test set, and a synthesized local
oscillator. The HP 8970V system, which operates from 10 MHz to 20 GHz,
uses the new HP 83711A synthesized CW generator as its local oscillator.
The HP 8970S, allows you to select a local oscillator from a recommended
list provided in the ordering section . The HP 8971C noise figure test
set brings the simplicity of double-sideband measurements and the
accuracy of single-sideband measurements together in one package.
Careful design and high-performance components, including a stable YIG
filter, allow broadband single-sided measurements from 10 MHz to 26.5
GHz with a single calibration sweep.
