Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 83446A #105467 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 83446A is an electronic test equipment designed for use with high-frequency devices such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and network analyzers. It is used for testing, measuring and analyzing various RF components and signals from 0.9 GHz to 18 GHz. HP 83446A contains a power meter, pulse generator, and frequency counter. The power meter feature of AGILENT 83446A enables precise measurement of the forward and reflected power of high-frequency signals. It provides three modes of operation: CW, average and peak. In CW mode, the frequency is held constant and power is measured continuously across frequencies. In the average mode, measurements are taken at different points in time and the results are averaged automatically. The peak mode is used to measure the highest power level. The power levels are indicated in terms of volts, dBm and watt. The pulse generator in 83446A is used to generate high power pulses at various frequencies. The pulse generator supports a wide range of pulse widths from 1 nanosecond to 2 milliseconds. The pulse generator also allows for an adjustable duty cycle up to 10%. The frequency counter feature in KEYSIGHT 83446A allows for accurate measuring of frequencies from 0.9 GHz to 18 GHz. This feature is helpful for calibration and testing of high frequency circuits. Apart from RF testing, HEWLETT-PACKARD 83446A also contains general-purpose test features such as measurement of impedance and capacitance, testing of polarizers and displays, and testing of mixers. AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 83446A even provides an option to perform data storage, with up to 10000 points that can be stored as part of the measurement. It also has an RS-232 port to connect to computers and an IEEE 488.2 compatible interface to integrate with other instruments. The test equipment is programmed either with the built-in keypad or via the remote controller. Overall, HP 83446A is an invaluable piece of test equipment for high-frequency designs, offering fast and precise measurements of power, frequency and general-purpose RF testing. Its versatile range of features provide a complete package for equipments such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers.
