Installing a Switch Or Attenuator on Module | HP E1368A instruction

Installing a Switch or Attenuator on the HP E1370A Microwave Switch/Attenuator Card

Installing a Switch

or Attenuator on

the Module

Because the HP E1370A Microwave Switch/Attenuator modules do not have a Microwave Switch of Attenuator installed by the factory, it is necessary to install or connect a switch or attenuator before operating. Determine whether the switch or attenuator is to be installed on, or connected to, the module and proceed as instructed below.

Installation of a Microwave Switch of Attenuator is described below. Figure 2-7 shows the wiring diagram and mounting hole centers for the switch of attenuator installed.

HP SWITCHES. The following 5V HP 3336xx series switches will function in the HP E1370A Microwave Switch/Attenuator module.

HP Part Number	Frequency	Ports


33363K	DC to 26.5GHz	Single-Pole, three-throw
33364K	DC to 26.5GHz	Single-Pole, four-throw
33365K	DC to 26.5GHz	Single-Pole, five-throw
33366K	DC to 26.5GHz	Single-Pole, six-throw

Order all of the above with Option 011 (5 volt solenoid assembly) and Option 008 (8 inch ribbon cable).

HP ATTENUATORS. The following 5V HP 3332X Step Attenuators will function in the HP E1370A Microwave Switch/Attenuator module.

HP Part	Frequency	Attenuation	Attenuation Step
Number			Size


33320G	DC to 4 GHz	0 - 11 dB	1 dB
33320H	DC to 18 GHz	0 - 11 dB	1 dB
33321G	DC to 4 GHz	0 - 70 dB	10 dB
33321H	DC to 18 GHz	0 - 70 dB	10 dB
33322G	DC to 4 GHz	0 - 110 dB	10 dB
33322H	DC to 18 GHz	0 - 110 dB	10 dB
33323K	DC to 26.5 GHz	0 - 90 dB	10 dB

Order all of the above with Option 011 (5 volt solenoid operation) and Option 008 (8 inch ribbon cable).
