HP 8510 - General Information

SECTION I GENERAL INFORMATION

1-I. INTRODUCTION

1-2. The Hewlett-Packard Model 8510 network analyzer system (Figure l-1) con- sists of several separate Instruments: the display/processor, the IF/detector, single or multiple test sets, and an HP 8340A or HP 8350B sweep oscillator. These in- struments are interconnected to make up an HP 8510 system. The HP 8510 system includes all of the connecting cables, as well as various other accessories used with the system in calibr+tion and measurements. Additiofial system capabilities are obtained by adding an HP desktop computer (controller) and other peripheral equipment.

l-3. This manual covers system and instrument specifications, installat.ion, opera- tion, programming, performance verification, adjustments, replaceable parts, service, and repair of the HP 8510 system.

1-4. SYSTEMS COVERED BY THIS MANUAL

l-5. Attached to each instrument is a serial number label that has the instrument serial number printed on it. These numbers are recorded at the factory upofi ini- tial shipment so that service and warranty information can be maintained by the factory for the specific combination shipped.

l-6. A typical serial number label is shown in Figure 1-2. The serial number is in two parts. The first four digits followed by a letter comprise the serial number prefix. The last five digits form the sequential suffix that, is unique to each in- strument. The contents of this manual apply directly to instruments having the same serial number prefixes as those listed on the Title Page of this manual under SERIAL NUMBERS.

l-7. An instrument manufactured after the printing of this manual may have a serial prefix that is not listed on the Title Page. An unlisted serial prefix indi- cates that the Instrument is different from those documented In this manual. The manual for the Instrument is then supplied with a Manual Changes supplement that contains information that documents the differences.

1-8. In addition to change information, the Manual Changes supplement cmtairH information for correcting errom In the manual. To keep this manual as current as

HP 8510 _ General Information

possible, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you periodically obtain the latest Man- ual Changes supplement. The supplement for this manual is keyed to both the print date and part number of the manual; both appear on the Title Page. Copies of the Manual Changes supplement are available from Hewlett-Packard or by sub- scription as part of support option HP 85lOT +23U.

1-9. For information concerning a serial number prefix that is not listed on the title page or in the Manual Changes supplement, contact your nearest Hewlett- Packard Sales Support Office.

l-10. SAFETY COKSIDERATIOXS

l-11. Refer to the’safety sheet at the front of this section for general safety instructions. Other cautions and warnings that appear throughout this manual should also be carefully followed to prevent bodily injury or damage to the equipment.

l-12. SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS

l-13. Tables l-2, l-3, l-10, l-11, and l-12 list measurement specifications for the HP 85lOA in combination with an HP 8512A, 8514A, 8511A, 8513A or 8515A t,est set and an RF source. The specifications describe the warranted performance Of the system over the temperature range of 0 o C to 55O C, except where noted in the specification table. The specifications shown are those obtained when an HP 8340A synthesized sweeper is used as the system RF source.

l-14. Table l-4 and some entries In the specification tables denoted as “typical”, “nominal”, or “approximate” are the typical, but not warranted, operating charac- teristics of the system. Supplemental characteristics provide information useful in applying the instrument by giving ncnwarranted performance parameters.

l-15. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

l-16. HP 85lOA/851lA System

l-17. The combination of the HP 8511A test set with the HP 8510A network an- alyzer and RF source provides a four channel receiver/signal processor that Oper- ates over the frequency range of 45 MHz to 26.5 GHz. This system provides cm- figuration flexibility of a user supplied signal separation network allowing custom measurement capabilities. The test set contains four RE to IF converters all of which can operate over the entire dynamic range of the system.

I-18. HP 8510A/8512A System

l-19. The combination of the HP 8512A test set with the WP 8510A network an- alyzer and RF source provides a system for making reflection sion ($21) measurements over the frequency range of 500 MHz

(S ,I and transmis- f! o 18 GHz. This

system provides a broad dynamic range and a simple test set architecture. The design of the test set includes three separate RF-to-IF converters which eliminate the need to mechanically switch between reflection and transmission measurements. This test set uses a directional coupler for signal separation.

l-20. The recommended accessories for the HP 85lOA/8512A system are as follows:

HP 8510 - General Information

HP 85132A 7mm test port return cable HP 85050A 7mm calibration klt HP 8505lA 7mm verification kit

l-21. HP 8510A/8513A

l-22. The combination of the HP 8513A test set with the HP 8510A network an- alyzer and source provides a system for making reflection (S I) and transmission (S21) measurement over the frequency range of 45 MHz to 26.5 Gl-lz. This system provides broad frequency coverage with wide dynamic range, and a simple test, set architecture. The design of the test set Includes three separate- RF to IF con- verters which eliminate the need to mechanically switch between relection and transmission measurem’enta. This test set uses a bridge for signal separation.

l-23. The recommended accessories for the HP 8510A/8513A system are as follows:

HP 85133A 3.5 mm test port return cable HP 85052A 3.5 mm calibration kit HP 85053A 3.5 mm verification kit HP 8513OA 3.5 mm to 7 mm adapter set HP 85050A 7 mm calibration kit llP 85051A 7 mm verification kit . HP 85132A 7 mm test port return cable

l-24. HP 8510A/8514A System

l-25. The combination of the HP 8514A test set with the HP 8510A network an- alyzer and source provides a system for making S-parameter measurements over the frequency range of 500 MHz to 18 GHz. This system is suited for making mea- surements ~1 two port devices where it is not convenient to physically reverse the test device to measure all four S-parameters. The dual fourport architecture of the test set develops a separate reference channel for each Incident port, thus re- ducing the number of Internal switches to one. This test set uses directional cou- plers for signal splitting. For measurements of active devices, the test set includes two 90 dB step attenuators for changing the incident power level at either port, as well as provisions for applying dc bias from au external power supply to the test port center conductor.

I-26. The recommended accessories for the HP 8510A/8514A system are as follows:

HP 851323 7mm test port return cable set HP 85050A 7mm calibration kit HP 85051A 7mm verification kit

The HP 85132A tes: mrt return cable is also suitable for use with the HP 8510A/ 8514A; however, some Increased sensitivity to frequency drift and residual FM may result.

l-27. HP 85lOA/8515A System

1-28. The combination of the HP 8515A test set with the HP 8510A network an- alyzer and source provides a system for making S-parameter measurements over the frequency range of 45 MHz to 26.5 ‘GHz. This system is suited for making mea- surements on two port devices where it is not convenient to physically reverse the
