HP 8971C Noise Figure Test Set, 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz

The HP 8971C noise figure test set brings the simplicity of double-sideband measurements together in one package. Careful design and high-performance components, including a stable YIG filter, allow broadband single-sideband measurements from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz with a single calibration and sweep. A low-noise preamplifier built into the noise figure test set lowers the second-stage noise figure, thereby reducing a major source of measurement uncertainty. Measurement modes in the HP 8970B allow for double down-conversion using the HP 8971C as the second downconverter. These modes can be used for millimeter-wave measurements of amplifiers and transistors and measurements of receivers and mixers with IFs above 1.6 GHz.
