There was a thread about using a different SG with the 4352A/B about seven
years ago.
I happened upon the answer today.
Set the SG type from the LO menu.
Type 1: 8664A/B
Type 2: 8657B
Type 3: 8648B/C, E8241A, E8244A, E8251A, E8255A
Type 4: User defined.
To define your own, use the GPIB
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the HP4352A/B VCO/PLL
analyzers with signal generators other than the 8665A? What is
involved?
I have a sig gen which is plenty good, so buying an 8665 just to go
with a 4352 (which you can now get for about $1K) seems like a waste.
Thanks,
Matt
Hi Matt:
Where can I get one for that price?
The Sig Gen phase noise is the driving spec since it needs to be better than
the phase noise of the VCO you are measuring.
Have Fun,

There's a 4352B on ebay for a $1K start bid, but there's a reserve.
There's a 4352A for $1999 Buy it Now with an Or Best Offer option.
In general, this is an absolutely great time to get modern test
equipment at very low cost. With the economy down, everybody wants to
get rid of inventory. I
