We're getting close ;-)
The frequency ranges are as Don states. The A or B versions of either analyzer will work with the 85650A QP adapter Only the B version (of either) will work with the 85685A Preselector. -Bob From: don_borow...@selinc.com [mailto:don_borow...@selinc.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 10:46 AM To: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: Re: Difference between the HP 8566A and the HP 8566B No, this is not correct. The 8566 in either version covers 100 Hz to 22 GHz. I think Gaby is confusing the 8566 with the 8568, which in both A and B models covers 100 Hz to 1.5 GHz. I am going from memory right now, but I believe the "B" models of both spectrum analyzers have the capability of accepting a quasi-peak adaptor, and have additional functions related to reading out values from the screen. Also, the 8566B could accept a preselector (perhaps the 8568B could too). If I remember correctly, the trace of the A versions could be read out only as X-Y coordinate values, and it was up to the user to translate them into level and frequency (knowing what the settings are). The B versions read out directly in level and frequency (IIRC). Don Borowski ex-HP/Agilent employee present Schweitzer Engineering Labs "Gaby F.
