The HP 8620C sweep oscillator mainframe, together with either an RF Section, and oscillator modules, or an RF plug-in, forms a completely solid-state self-contained multiband swept signal source. The 8620C is designed for use with network analyzer systems such as the 8410B/8411A to provide a complete microwave measurement system. Other systems can also be built, using the 8620C as a swept signal source.
The front panel is designed for simplicity and ease of operation. It is hinged to the mainframe to faciliate changing of the frequency dial. Pressing a mode control selects the mode and causes the lamp in the control to light - providing a positive identication of the mode selected.
Up to four separate bands and respective frequency scales can be selected with a band-select lever to the left of the dial scale. Pushbuttons, concentrically located in the frequency control knobs, light when actuated to indicate the sweep function in use.
The 8620C provides strong programming capabilities. The standard model includes inputs for band selection, sweep function selection, and analog frequency control. Optionally, more flexible digital frequency programming is available.
