Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 3577B #9034913 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 3577B is a high-performance radio frequency (RF) and microwave test equipment designed for production, design validation and characterisation applications. HP 3577B offers superior resolution and accuracy for testing high-performance amplifiers, transceivers, and complex analogue and digital circuitry. The main unit in the system weighs over 130 kg and consists of a low-noise preamplifier, a frequency converter, a synthesizer, a down-converter, high-sensitivity receivers, and two precision power meters. The frequency range of the unit is from 0.01 MHz to 18 GHz and the maximum input level is limited to +20 dBm. The RF outputs can be switched between an ideal sine waveform and a smooth set of amplitudes. In addition, an output loopback facility is available. The microwave unit also features two integrated digital distance measurement systems. One of these systems is based on a phase-locked-loop technique that measures the phase difference between two reflections, and the other is based on the time-domain analysis that measures the time delay between reflections. Both systems are used for the automatic calibration routine provided to the machine, offering a quick setup with minimal manual interventions. AGILENT 3577B also has a variety of control and data acquisition interfaces including IEE-488, GPIB, LAN, and RS-232. This provides for easy integration with external control systems and data analysis. The instrument also offers a variety of ways to visualize and store different measurements such as XY graphs, Vectorscope, Tabular, Harmonic Distortion, Power Spectral Density and other types of data. The instrument provides a frequency response step accuracy of 0.1 dB at a frequency up to 8 GHz and 0.2 dB at 12 GHz. The amplitude resolution offered by the instrument is 0.1 dB with the fastest sweep timer of 800 ms up to 12 GHz. The maximum input signal range for HEWLETT-PACKARD 3577B is from -100 dBm to +17 dBm. The instrument comes with several test and analysis software packages, including simulations and signal analysis, making RF and microwave measurements easy to carry out. KEYSIGHT 3577B also includes a powerful graphical user interface (GUI) allowing intuitive access to the instrument and interpretations of the data. The instrument can be used both in the lab and in the field due to its light weight and anti-slip feet. Altogether, 3577B provides reliable and accurate results for a variety of RF and microwave measurements, making it a valuable tool for production, design validation, and characterisation applications. Its variety of features and robust design make it a good choice for high-end production testing and general laboratory work.
