This unit
The HP/Agilent 71500A Microwave Transition Analyzer is a two-channel, sampler-based time-domain instrument for stimulus-response measurements spanning DC to 40 GHz. This benchtop analyzer consolidates the functionality of multiple dedicated instruments - oscilloscopes, vector network analyzers, peak power meters, and spectrum analyzers - into a single unit, optimizing space in R&D and ATE environments.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: DC to 40 GHz
Channels: Two
Time-Domain Accuracy: Up to 1 ps delta time
Resolution: 0.1 dB and 1 degree at 8 GHz
Pulse Measurement Capability: Down to 100 ps pulse width
Internal Trigger: Up to 40 GHz
Sampling Technology: Sampler-based architecture with dual DSP chips for signal demodulation and waveform math
Key Features
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis with simultaneous frequency, magnitude, and phase display
Fundamental and harmonic measurement up to 40 GHz in waveform and tabular formats
RF and video feedthrough separation without external filters
Direct RF carrier measurement
Four pulse measurement formats: Real (RF waveform), Magnitude (linear envelope), Log Magnitude (log envelope), and Phase (phase versus time)
Rise and fall time measurement, including very fast transitions (17 ps fall times on semiconductor devices)
Time delay and group delay measurements
Peak and average power analysis
AM to PM conversion characterization
Noise filtering that removes noise signals faster than averaging
Cable loss correction for component measurements
Full programmability via Agilent Instrument BASIC (IBASIC) for custom applications and internal execution
CAE simulation comparison capability
Typical Applications
Microwave component and system characterization
Semiconductor device testing and validation
Pulse and transient signal analysis
RF and microwave subsystem validation
Time-domain stimulus-response measurements
Compatibility & Integration The 71500A is configured with the HP 70820A Microwave Transition Analyzer module paired with the HP 70004A Color Display/Mainframe for display and system control.
