Agilent / HP / Keysight 8530A
8530A Microwave Receiver
Description
This unit is a fast and accurate microwave receiver designed for both manual and automated antenna measurement and radar cross-section measurement applications.
It offers fast data acquisition speeds, excellent sensitivity, wide dynamic range, multiple test channels, and frequency agility, without compomising measurement accuracy.
This receiver provides broad frequency coverage from 45MHz to 26.5GHz, with extensions to 110GHz.
This unit can be a replacement receiver for existing antenna or RCS range receivers.
With the 85370A antenna position encoder, the receiver can be interfaced to virtually any positioning system.
Any 8510 network analyzer can be upgraded on-site to an 8530A microwave receiver with the 85395A/B/C kits.
This unit is the basis for the 85301B/C custom antenna and RCS measurement systems.
Key Points
High sensitivity for more accurate measurements in less time.
High measurement accuracy with linearity of better than 0.5° (phase) and
0.06dB (magnitude) over a 70dB range.
Fast measurements in both single and multiple frequency applications.
Optional time-domain measurement capability.
Multiple parameter capability allows fast measurements of multiple output
antennas.
Large data buffer holds 100,000 measurement points.
