HP 8970V Noise Figure Measurement System, 10 MHz to 20 GHz

The HP 8970V removes 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. The system consists of the HP 8970B noise figure meter, the HP 8971C noise figure test set, and a sythesized local oscillator. The HP 8970V system, which operated 10 MHz to 20 GHz, uses the HP 83711B synthesized CW generator as its local oscillator.
