The HP 83525A is an RF plug-in of the 83500 Series of broadband plug-ins for the 8350A sweep oscillator. To be a complete operating unit, the 8350A must be used in conjunction with an RF plug-in unit that operates in the required frequency range. The 83525A covers the frequency range of 10 MHz to 8.4 GHz. With leveled power output at 20 mW (+13 dBm) and a flatness of ±1.5 dBm, the 83525A plug-in does not compromise on power despite its wide frequency range. The power level can be extended with the 70 dB attenuator option.
The broad frequency range of the 83525A is created by two bands that overlap by 100 MHz. The lower band, from 10 MHz to 2.1 GHz is produced by a heterodyne circuit, whereas the upper band, from 2 GHz to 8.4 GHz is produced by a YIG oscillator. The 100 MHz overlap provides smooth switching between the two bands.
The 83525A provides crystal markers below 2 GHz. As well, the plug-in produces 1 MHz harmonic markers below 1 GHz. The markers, which appear as amplitude dips or intensity spots, assist in simplying and speeding up precision measurements.
