Agilent / HP / Keysight 8753ET

The Agilent/HP 8753ET Transmission/reflection vector network analyzer is a cost-effective solution for characterization of the RF components.

The built-in transmission/reflection (T/R) test set has a full range of magnitude and phase measurements in the forward direction. The 8753ET has an integrated synthesized source, a test set and a tuned receiver.

The built-in transmission/reflection (T/R) test set has a full range of magnitude and phase measurements in the forward direction. The built-in vector accuracy enhancement techniques are one-port, response, and enhanced response calibrations.

The 8753ET not only provides magnitude and phase information, but also offer up to 110 dB dynamic range, make group delay and time domain measurements and utilize vector accuracy enhancement to minimize measurement uncertainty.

The 8753ET provides display in Cartesian, Smith chart and Polar formats. Each display channel has four independent markers which can be displayed simultaneously. Markers can indicate data at actual data points or they can interpolable between data points to allow the setting of a marker at an exact frequency.

In the 8753 network analyzer, up to 31 instrument states can be stored internally or recalled via the SAVE/RECALL menu. Instrument states include all control settings, active limit lines, active list frequency tables, memory trace data, active calibration coefficients, and custom display titles. Storage is in nonvolatile memory.

In the 8753ET network analyzer, six measurement sequences can be stored or recalled via the sequencing menu. Sequences may also be recalled from Preset menu. Sequence register 6 is part of nonvolatile storage and is not erased during a power cycle. If sequence 6 is titled AUTO, it will be executed when power is turned on.

In the external source mode, the receiver (input R) detects and phase-locks to any externally generated CW signal. Receiver inputs A and B will measure this same frequency for comparison or tracking measurements.

The tuned reciever of 8753ET tunes the receiver for a synthesized CW input signal at a precisely specified frequency. The time bases of the external RF source or sources must be tied to the external reference input (rear panel BNC).
