Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8552A #122073 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8552A is an advanced electronic test equipment designed for general-purpose radio frequency (RF) testing and measurements. This instrument is primarily used for laboratory-quality testing of radio frequency signal sources, receivers, amplifiers, and other RF components. HP 8552A covers a wide range of operating frequencies, from 3 KHz to 3 GHz (measurement range -50 dBm to +20 dBm), and provides exceptional performance and measurement accuracy. AGILENT 8552A consists of three main components: a voltage-tuned oscillator, a linear frequency-conversion detector (LCD), and a power amplifier. The oscillator is used to generate a sinusoidal signal at a given frequency, with a frequency resolution of 1 Hz. The LCD detector is used to convert this signal to a linear-frequency-swept signal, which is then amplified by the power amplifier before being sent out for measurements. It has a resolution of 1 Hz for power measurements, 2 dB for phase measurements, and 0.01 dB for the S-parameters. HEWLETT-PACKARD 8552A is designed with a standard interface for connecting to a host computer or laboratory instrument. This allows it to be used in both manual and automated modes of operation. It also features user-friendly controls and displays, which make operation and calibration easy. The instrument features a variety of measurement modes for use in a wide range of applications. This includes normal power mode for general-purpose testing, micro-power mode for low signal level testing, and differential mode for accurately measuring mixed-signal sources. KEYSIGHT 8552A's performance is further enhanced by the use of a variety of signal processors and measurement detectors. These include the thermal noise detector, signal-to-noise ratio detector, and harmonic distortion detector. Additionally, the instrument includes several memory functions and data storage capabilities, making it ideal for complex testing applications that require multiple measurements. Overall, 8552A offers users an accurate and reliable instrument for general-purpose RF measurements. Its wide range of supported frequencies and enhanced performance and measurement accuracy make it suitable for a variety of applications. The instrument's user-friendly interface, data storage features, and signal processors enable it to be used for both manual and automated testing, allowing it to provide results with confidence.
