RF PLUG-IN for the HP 8350B Sweep Oscillator
THE HP 83550A RF PLUG-IN for the HP 8350B Sweep Oscillator was conceived as a low-cost microwave driver for the HP 8355x family of millimeter-wave source modules. The HP 83550A also functions well as a stand-alone high-power 8-to-20-GHz source. Incorporating this dual personality into one instrument without compromising performance presented a major design challenge.
When connected to an HP 8355x Source Module, the HP 8350B with the HP 83550A displays the millimeter-wave output frequency directly. The detector and associated power-level correction circuitry are located in the source module for best accuracy--the HP 83550A displays the power level at the millimeter-wave output, not at the output of the HP 83550A itself. The source module thus becomes completely transparent to the user, with the front panels of the HP 8350B and HP 83550A acting exactly as if the plug-in were operating directly at millimeter-wave frequencies. Complete programmability of all functions is also maintained because the instrument firmware performs all the needed conversions.
