Instrument Firmware Compatibility

To use the HP 8517B test set at frequencies up to 50 GHz, use an

HP 83650B or HP 83651B source.

If your network analyzer or source do not meet the required frequency ranges for your measurement needs, you need to upgrade your system.

Please contact an HP Sales and Service representative for information. These offices are listed in “Service and Support” on page vi at the front of this manual
