A comprehensive range of accessories is available to support each of these units. 6820 series Scalar Analyzers 6821 1 MHz to 3 GHz Scalar Analyzer 6822 10 MHz to 8.4 GHz Scalar Analyzer 6823 10 MHz to 20 GHz Scalar Analyzer 6824 10 MHz to 24 GHz Scalar Analyzer 6825 10 MHz to 46 GHz Scalar Analyzer 6825R 10 MHz to 40 GHz Scalar Analyzer Synthesized Source The synthesized source has low phase noise and 1 Hz frequency resolution. VCOs are used for frequencies above 3 GHz and an integrated RF synthesizer for the 1 MHz to 3 GHz range. Optionally increased output power is available from 3 to 24 GHz. Internal filtering results in excellent harmonic performance of <-50 dBc for improved scalar measurement accuracy. Optional step attenuators are available to set low output powers for amplifier or receiver testing. In CW mode the source can be used for local oscillator substitution. A power sweep is provided for amplifier gain compression testing. External FM can be applied by connecting an AF generator to the rear panel. The internal modualtion option provides frequency modulation of the source or pulse patterns for internal or external pulse modulators. The internal pulse modulator option allows either an external pulse generator to be connected via a rear panel BNC connector or utilizes the pulse patterns available from the internal modulation option. The pulse patterns may be configured and selected in either single pulse or multi-pulse formats. When used with the scalar analyzer the source provides a swept synthesized output for frequency characterization of components and systems. Scalar Analyzer The three input scalar analyzer provides network characterization of components and systems. Simultaneous measurement of insertion and return loss are displayed on the 6820 color screen. Excellent measurement accuracy is assured by the use of EEPROM corrected detectors.
