You would be surprised. I've been quite cheap and patient and have put together a quite capable 22GHz HP 70000 MMS series SA for under $1KUS. If you are impatient, it can be done for under $2KUS. That gets you down to 10Hz RBW, color display, all digital. Not small, but very capable and expandable. Another $1k (if patient, ~$2.2k if not) will add VNA capabilities to 40GHz and all the capabilities we talked about using the Microwave Transition Analyzer + the 70340 1-20GHz signal generator. All with GPIB control. Other options also exist. My 8565 SA was less than $1K when I bought it. It will get a RBW down to about 1KHz. up to 22G without external mixers. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
