Re: Difference between the HP 8566A and the HP 8566B
I don't think that is correct. I believe an 8566 is an 8566, when it comes to frequency range. I think the B model had better rf performance, specifically a cleaner local oscillator, resulting in a lower noise floor at low frequencies (below 1 kHz). I believe it was the 8568 that went to 1.5 GHz. From: Gaby F. Abboud g.abbo...@verizon.net Reply-To: Gaby F.

Re: Difference between the HP 8566A and the HP 8566B
Alas, all my vintage reference books are in storage. As I recall, B refers to lower frequency capability and/or finer BW resolution, like from 30Hz BW down to 10Hz BW Simply has extended lower ranges. - Robert - On Tue, 25 Nov 2003 08:38:30 -0800 Pettit, Ghery ghery.pet...@intel.com wrote: Not true.

RE: Difference between the HP 8566A and the HP 8566B
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.

Re: Difference between the HP 8566A and the HP 8566B
Gaby, HP 8568 100kHz to 1.5GHz HP 8566 100kHz to 22GHz (options to 325GHz) As for the A/B, I have had both and found that there is no difference in their displays or their functions. There are more options for the B versions, extended RAM (16K), etc. and found that the A versions were limited using the HP OATS software. Both units and versions can be used with a preselector and or a qusi-peak adapter. When using a 68 or 66 with the preselector and QP adapter, these analyzers become CISPR16 compliant receivers, giving you the best of both worlds. I have used both analyzers for many years and found them to be two of the best out there. However, if buying anyone of these today, you need to consider the maintenance factor. HP no longer supports this line and parts are hard to come by for the 68. Kent L.
