HP 8753ET/ES supplemental characteristics (continued) Sweep trigger Set to either continuous, single, group sweep, or external trigger. Set external trigger to take a complete sweep or to measure individual points in a frequency, power or list sweep. Power Set source power from -20 to +5 dBm for the HP 8753ET1 or from -85 to +10 dBm for the HP 8753ES2. Power slope can be set in dBm/GHz. Power meter calibration Select continuous leveling or use a correction table to modify source power.
HP 8753ET/ES supplemental characteristics (continued) Trace functions Display data Display current measurement data, memory data, or current measurement with measurement and memory data simultaneously. Trace math Vector division or subtraction of current linear measurement values and memory data.
HP 8753ET/ES supplemental characteristics (continued) • Low-pass impulse Frequency offset on/off • Bandpass impulse Sets the RF source to be swept at a fixed offset frequency above the receiver as required in a swept RF/IF, fixed LO, mixer test. The bandpass impulse stimulates a pulsed RF signal (with an impulse envelope) and is used to measure the time-domain response of band-limited devices.

General characteristics Front panel connectors HP 8753ES test ports (without Option 011) Connector type 7 mm, precision Impedance 50 ohms (nominal) Test sequence output (TEST SEQ) By default, this connector outputs a TTL end-of-sweep signal. It can also be programmed by the user in a test sequence to output a user-defined TTL signal. BNC (f) connector.
Environmental characteristics Measurement throughput summary General conditions RFI and EMI susceptibility: defined by VDE 0730, CISPR Publication 11, and FCC Class B Standards. The following table shows typical measurement times in milliseconds. ESD (electrostatic discharge): must be eliminated by use of static-safe work procedures and an anti-static bench mat. The flexible rubber keypad protects key contacts from dust, but the environment should be as dust-free as possible for optimal reliability.
Test set specifications for Option 011 HP 85046A/B S-parameter test sets The HP 85046A/B S-parameter test sets provide the capability to measure reflection and transmission characteristics (including S-parameters) of two-port devices in either direction with a single connection. The test sets are controlled from the HP 8753ES Option 011 and include a programmable step attenuator. The frequency range of the HP 85046A 50-ohm test set is 300 kHz to 3 GHz. The HP 85046A has precision 7-mm connectors.
HP 85047A S-parameter test set The HP 85047A S-parameter test set provides the capability to simultaneously measure the reflection and transmission characteristics of two-port devices in either direction with a single connection. This test set includes a frequency doubler that can be switched in by an HP 8753B/C Option 006 to measure 3 MHz to 6 GHz in a single sweep or switched out to measure 300 kHz to 3 GHz in a single sweep.
Accessories HP 85033D 3.5-mm calibration kit Calibration kits Contains a set of precision 3.5-mm standards to calibrate the HP 8753ES and 50-ohm test sets for the measurement of devices with precision 3.5-mm and SMA connectors. Precision phase-matched 7-mm to 3.5-mm adapters are included for accurate measurements of non-insertable devices. Option 001 deletes the 7-mm to type-N adapters.
HP 85038 family of calibration kits HP 11906B 7-16 to 50-Ohm type-N adapter kit Description The HP 85038A calibration kit contains open circuits, short circuits, and terminations with both male and female 7-16 connectors. More economical versions of this kit are available: the HP 85038M contains only male devices, and the HP 85038F provides only female devices (see following table).
Verification kits HP 11850C/D three-way power splitters Measuring known devices other than the standards used in calibration is an easy way to verify the proper operation of an HP 8753ES measurement system. HP offers verification kits which include devices, with data, for verifying the error-corrected measurements of an HP 8753ES and 50-ohm test sets.
HP 11852B 50-ohm to 75-ohm minimum loss pad (continued) Connectors Dimensions Weight 50-ohm type-N (f) to 75-ohm type-N (m) standard Option 004, 50-ohm type-N (m) to 75-ohm type-N (f) 14-mm D x 70-mm L (0.56 in x 2.75 in) Net 0.1 kg (0.316 lb) RF limiter Externally attaches to one or both ports of the analyzer. Provides protection against potential high-power transients from external devices.
HP 8347A RF amplifier The HP 8347A RF amplifier delivers increased power across a 300 kHz to 3 GHz frequency range. The HP 8347A provides leveled output power without using an external coupler and detector, since these parts are built-in. The external ALC can be directly connected to the external AM input on the HP 8753ET/ES. This capability is especially useful for achieving high dynamic range measurements at faster sweep rates.
