The HP 86290C sweep oscillator is a broadband plug-in for the 8620 Family. (It is also compatible with the 8350 sweep oscillator using the 11869A adapter.) A continuous sweep from 2 to 18.6 GHz is provided for broadband swept testing. In addition, higher frequency resolution is achieved by covering the 2 to 18.6 GHz range in three individual bands of 2 to 6.2 GHz, 6 to 12.4 GHz, and 12 to 18.6 GHz. The frequency accuracy of the 86290C is better than ±30 MHz.

The 86290C offers outstanding electrical performance producing >20 mW swept output over the 2 to 18.6 GHz range along with excellent linearity and low spurious and harmonic content. For scalar measurements in the AC detection mode, the 27.8 kHz square wave modulation from the 8755 frequency response test set or 8756/8757 scalar network analyzers is accepted directly through the external AM input. When performing phase / amplitude network analysis, the interfacing between the sweeper and the 8410B/C network analyzer permits the 8410B/C to automatically phase lock over multi-octave sweeps for continous swept 2 to 18.6 GHz phase and amplitude measurements.
