Keysight (Agilent/HP) 8508A 1GHz Vector Voltmeter

Keysight (Agilent/HP) 8508A 1GHz Vector Voltmeter Description:

The HP8508A vector voltmeter is a fully-automatic tuned receiver that makes RF voltage and phase measurements easy. The narrowband measuring technique gives a dynamic range of over 90 dB and a sensitivity of u10 V to trace even the smallest signal. The vector voltmeter also measures the difference between the two input channels with at least 0.1 degree resolution over a full +180 to 180 degree range, so it can be used for another complete set of measurementssuch as electrical length, phase distortion, or impedance.

The standard unit is supplied with the Keysight (Agilent/HP) 85081B input module, which has two high-impedance probe inputs that operate from 100 kHz to 1 GHz. Its ability to store reference and use it in later measurements means individual circuit sections can be characterized and adjusted independently. Any CW source can be used as a stimulus even a source that is part of the device being tested so measurements can be made under normal operating conditions. To adapt the probe inputs for measurements in a 50 ohm environment, the Keysight (Agilent/HP) 11570A accessory kit provides two Keysight (Agilent/HP) 11536A probe tees, an Keysight (Agilent/HP) 11549A power splitter, and two Keysight (Agilent/HP) 908A 50 ohm terminations. Option 050 is supplied with the Keysight (Agilent/HP) 85082A input module. Its 50 ohm inputs operate from 300 kHz to 2 GHz, and provide the accuracy and dynamic range to make measurements on active and passive components.
