The HP 8757C/E Scalar Network Analyzer

The connections between the analyzer and the HP 8360 series are similar to the connections between the analyzer and the

HP 8340/8341. The HP 8360 series differs from the HP 8340/8341 in one connection only. It unnecessary to connect the modulator drive signal from the analyzer to the source. The HP 8360 series internally produces the 27.8 kHz modulated signal necessary for AC mode measurements on the analyzer. The connections from the HP 8360 series to the analyzer are:

nZ-AXIS BLANK/MKRS

nSWEEP OUTPUT

nSTOP SWEEP IN/OUT

nHP-IB Interface

Configure the general-purpose HP 8360 series to HP-IB address 19 and network analyzer language for operation with the analyzer. For information on selecting the instrument address and language refer to earlier paragraphs in this chapter.

The dedicated HP 8510 versions (HP 83621A, 83631A) of the HP 8360 series cannot be used with the HP 8757C/E.

The HP 83550 Series Millimeter-wave Source Modules

Refer to “Leveling with MM-wave Source Modules,” in Chapter 1 for information and examples.

The HP 89708 Noise Figure Meter

Connections from the HP 8360 series to the HP 8970B noise figure meter are identical to those used with the HP 8340/8341. Configure the HP 8360 series to an address corresponding to the source address of the HP 8970, typically HP-IB address 19, and network analyzer language.
