Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8163B #9154405 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8163B electronic test equipment is a high performance Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) designed to meet the design, test, and service needs of the modern telecommunications industry. It provides an excellent tool for analyzing and troubleshooting optical networks by allowing users to visualize and measure the spectral content of optical signals with greater accuracy and wider coverage than previously possible. This OSA works using the optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) technique, which is an advanced approach to absorption spectroscopy. OFDR works by transmitting short pulses of light at different wavelengths through the sample and measuring the reflected pulse. Light from a broadband, low-noise, single-mode laser source is passed through a diffraction grating to generate an optical pulse with a wide spectrum of wavelengths. This pulse is then directed through the sample, which can be anything from an optical fiber to an optical device. The intensity of the reflected pulse is then measured as a function of wavelength. This allows the user to receive a wide-range of output data, making it extremely useful for analyzing optical networks. HP 8163B OSA is housed in a durable and compact chassis and is designed to provide high accuracy and stability. It features built-in optimized wavelength control and measurement units, which allow for accurate and reliable wavelength detection and analysis in addition to automatic calibration. Its high-speed ADC and DAC converter system achieves the highest resolution with the lowest possible time, allowing rapid, accurate testing of a wide range of optical components. In addition to its sophisticated measurement capabilities, AGILENT 8163B OSA also features an intuitive user interface with a large LCD touch display and on-screen navigation menus. This makes testing and troubleshooting easier as users can quickly switch between functions and check results in real time. Additionally, the device supports both IEEE-488 and USB interfaces for connecting to external devices, and integrated PC software, which allows for remote monitoring and control. Overall, KEYSIGHT 8163B OSA is an indispensable tool for the modern telecommunications industry, offering a compact, reliable, and accurate testing solution for optical signals and components. With its wide range of features and intuitive user interface, HEWLETT-PACKARD 8163B OSA provides a powerful tool for analyzing, troubleshooting, and servicing optical networks and components.
