TABLE 1-2. MODEL8559A/180-SERIES SUPPLEMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS(2OF 3)

SUPPLEMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS

NOTE: Values in this table are not specifications. They are typical characteristics included for user information.

Third Order IntermodulationDistortion

lnput SWR

RelativeDisortion

1 -30 dBm

50 kHz

1 - 7 0 d B

Signal Identifier

Signal identifier provided over entire frequency range and in all Frequency Span/Div settings. Correct signal response is a 1 MHz shift to the left and approximately a 6 dB lower amplitude.

SWEEP CHARACTERISTICSMANUAL SWEEP

Spectrum analyzer may be swept manually, in either direction, with front panel control.

SWEEP TRIGGERFree Run

End of each sweep triggers new sweep.

Line

Sweep triggered at ac line frequency.

Video

Sweep triggered on post-detection video wave- form. One-half major division of vertical deflection required to trigger sweep.

Single

Single sweep started or reset by turning SWEEP TRIGGER clockwise momentarily.

FRONT PANEL INPUT AND OUTPUTCHARACTERISTICS

SIGNAL INPUT lnput Impedance

50 ohms nominal; Precision Type N female connector.

<2.0 SWR with 0dB input attenuation <1.3 SWR with r10 dB input attenuation

LO Emission(3.0 - 6.1 GHz)

I- 8 dBm with 0 dB input attenuation

REAR PANEL OUTPUTCHARACTERISTICS'VERTICAL, PENLIFTIBLANKING, AND HORIZONTAL OUTPUTS(AUX A, B, D)

These outputs are compatible with and may be used to drive H P X-YRecorders (using positive pencoils or TTL penlift input) and CRT moni- tors.

AUX A VERTICAL OUTPUT

BNC output provides detected video signal from

a50-ohm output impedance. Typical 0 - 800 mV range corresponds to full 8-division CRT vertical deflection.

AUX B PENLIFT/BLANKING OUTPUT

BNC output provides a + 15V penlift/blanking signal from a 10K-ohm output impedance when CRT trace is blanked. Otherwise, output is low at OV (low impedance, 150 mA max.) for an unblanked trace.

'Rear panel outputs refer to 180T-series display mainframes and other 180-series mainframes with Option 807 installed. Horizontal, vertical, and blanking outputs, attenuated and shifted in dc level, are available on other 180-series mainframes at the MAIN SWEEP, MAIN GATE, and DELAYED GATE outputs, respectively. DO NOT connect an X-Y recorder to the DELAYED GATE OUTPUT, or damage will result.
