John,
Hi,
recently I added a nice 11848A phase noise interface to the herd.
It came with the options K23 (DC Blocking Filter) and K21 (AM Detector
Filter), including the complete set of adapters, manuals and matching /
calibration networks.
If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to scan the manuals. I think
these are not yet out on the web.
I've uploaded my cal, ops, and ref manual scans to http://www.hparchive.com
(see the Equipment link under '3048A' near the bottom of the page), as well
as two different editions of the 11848A service manual, but I don't think
I've seen any schematics for the various option modules. Would be good to
add those to the page.
PM sent with the K23 DC blocking filter manual.
I'll scan the K21 AM detector filter, too.
Another interesting detail: The 11848A has options 201, 300 and H26. H26
appears to denote the opt 201 microwave phase detector with extended
frequency range to 26.5 GHz (with male 3.5 connectors on the front
panel). I've never seen that option before. I have no idea what 300
stands for though.
Sounds like a nice box. Did it come with any software? Since option 301
was the MS-DOS version, maybe 300 refers to another software option,
possibly a customer-specific mod to support the 26.5 GHz mixer.
It came in near mint condition with two original accessory boxes
containing the options and the 'Series 200/300 Rev. A.03.02 (Compiled
for RMBUX)' software.
I would appreciate to hear about any other options and accessories for
the 3048A / 11848A that are not covered by the common manuals.
Btw. are there any known projects to run the 3048A on HP/Agilent VEE or
other nowadays environments?
Not on VEE, but you can run it under the Transera HTBasic emulator
(including the free trial version) using this modified version:
http://www.ke5fx.com/3048A_X01.zip . (I'm not the author but I can probably
help you get it running if you have any trouble, since I've used it
heavily.)

Many thanks!
I have a working 3048A with the MS-DOS version, but would be happy to
run it on a PC that can be connected to my network.
So, the Transera solution sounds like a plan! Thank you very much!
Nevertheless, if anyone has de-embedded the instrument control and
calibration sequences, that would be great for more experimentation.
