HP 8713C

Economy Network Analyzer 300 kHz to 3 GHz

The HP 8713C RF economy network analyzer provides speed, accuracy and measurement versatility in a compact, integrated instrument for high-volume RF component manufacturing, inspection and maintenance. An integrated synthesized source and transmission/reflection test set enable complete swept frequency characterization of RF components with a single connection.

For testing narrowband devices, the internal synthesized source provides a fast (50 ms/sweep), stable (1 Hz resolution) stimulus. Calculate and display specified device characteristics in real time. Eight markers per channel, marker search, tracking, bandwidth and a variety of math functions speed component testing.

The instrument has a large, 9-inch instrument display, or, use a VGA-compatible color monitor for enhanced visibility. Display formats include linear and log magnitude and SWR. For 75-ohm measurements, dBV/dBmV/dBµV formats are also available.

Features:

• 300 kHz to 3 GHz
• Integrated transmission/reflection test set with narrowband and broadband detection
• "Real time" sweep speed (50 ms/sweep), synthesized 1 Hz resolution source, and 100 dB of system dynamic range
• Internal 3.5-inch disk drive (LIF/DOS formats) and VGA interface
• Internal HP Instrument BASIC (IBASIC) capability
• TCP/IP-compliant Ethertwist LAN interface option
• AM delay and fault location/SRL options
