The HP 8711A provides speed, accuracy, and measurement versatility at a price that makes it ideal for RF manufacturing. Characterize the transmission/reflection frequency response or measure the insertion loss, gain, return loss. conversion loss, power, or SWR of a variety of RF components. The HP 8711A is a compact, integrated network analyzer that provides fast, simple, and accurate RF testing. Integrated synthesized source and transmission/reflection test set enable the complete swept frequency characterization of RF components with a single connection. The internal synthesized source is a fast (50 ms/sweep) and stable (1 Hz resolution) stimulus for testing narrowband and broadband detection, which makes the instrument ideal for testing linear and non-linear components that make up RF systems. Broadband detection allows characterization of frequency translation devices, while narrowband detection provides greater than 90 dB of dynamic range for testing high rejection, narrowband devices. Optional HP Instrument BASIC (IBASIC) puts computer automation capabilities inside the instrument, simplifying measurement setups and testing. A built-in LIF/DOS format 3.5 inch floppy disk drive allows unlimited storage of instrument states, measurement and calibration data, and IBASIC programs. Integrated source, receiver test set, display, and disk drive result in a network analyzer that is easy to use, ideal for manufacturing, incoming inspection, and maintenance applications. Designed for Manufacturing Simplicity, ease of use, and automatic functions save device test time. The time saving features of the HP 8711A were designed with high volume manufacturing in mind. The HP 8711A is capable of displaying multiple measurement parameters simultaneously on the CRT, such as insertion loss and return loss characteristics. Nine internal save/recall registers are available to speed device testing. Storing and recalling complete instrument states internally saves time and reduces operating errors. Powerful marker functions speed the final test of components by calculating and displaying specified device characteristics (maximum, minimum, 3 dB bandwidth and marker search) in real time, along with measurement data. Limit testing allows comparison of measured data to user defined test limits and displaying the results on the instrument's display. This feature ensures your devices are aligned and tested to the same specifications at all production test stations. HP Instrument BASIC and built-in disk drive simplify measurement automation and reduce system cost. IBASIC's unique keystroke recording capability enables automation of manual measurements without the need for any programming. The HP 8711A is PC compatible, use an IBM compatible personal computer and the analyzer's DOS disk format to control your measurement system and transfer data directly to popular MS-DOS programs. Peripherals are supported (printers and plotters) through serial, parallel, and HP-IB interfaces. |
