Nominal output impedance is 50 (. Connector should be an SMA female. RF Output, Nominal output impedance is 50 ohms. Connector should be 2.4 mm male. External ALC Input, Used for negative external detector or power meter leveling. Nominal input impedance is 120 K(. Connector should be BNC female. Pulse Input/Output, TTL low-level signal turns RF off. When using the standard internal pulse generator, a TTL level pulse sync signal which precedes the RF pulse is generated approximately 80 nsec at the output of this connector. Nominal input impedance is 50(. Connector should be a BNC female. AM Input Nominal impedance is 50 ( & internally swtchble to 2 K(. Connector should be a BNC female. FM Input Nominal impedance is 50 ( & internally swtchble to 600 (. Connector should be BNC female. Trigger Input Activated on TTL rising edge. Used to externally activate an analog sweep or to advance to the next point in step or list mode. Connector should be a BNC female. Trigger Output, Outputs a 1 (sec wide TTL pulse at 1601 points evenly spaced across an analog sweep, or at each point in step or list mode. Connector should be BNC female. 10 MHz Reference Input Accepts 10 MHz 100 Hz, 0 to +10 dBm reference signal for operation from external time base. Nominal input impedance is 50 (.

Sweep Output: Supplies a vltge proportional to the sweep ranging from 0 volts at start of sweep to 10 volts at end of sweep, regardless of sweep wdth. In CW mode, vltge is proportional to percentage of full instrument frequency range. Min. load impedance is 3 K(. Accuracy is 0.25%. Connector should be a BNC female. Stop Sweep Input/Output: Sweep will stop when grounded externally. TTL-high while sweeping, TTL-low when sweeping stops. Connector should be a BNC female. Z-axis Blanking/Markers Output: Supplies a positive rectangular pulse (approximately +5 volts into 2 k() during the retrace & hand swtchpoints of the RF output. Also supplies a negative (-5 volt) pulse when the RF is at a marker frequency. Connector should be a BNC female.

Accuracy is 0.5%. Connector should be a BNC female. Auxiliary Interface: Provides control signal connections to the HP 8516A S-parameter test set. Also used when two sweepers are operated in a master/slave mode. Connector should be a 25-pin, D-subminiature receptacle. Pulse Video Output: Outputs the pulse modulation waveform that is supplied to the modulator. This can be either an internally or externally generated pulse modulation signal. Connector should be a BNC female. Pulse Sync Out: Outputs a 50 nsec wide TTL pulse synchronized to the leading edge of the internally generated pulse. Connector should be BNC female. AM/FM Output: Outputs the internally generated AM or FM waveform. This output can drive 50 ( or greater. The AM output is scaled the same as it is generated, either 100%/volt or 10 dB/volt. The FM scaling depends on the FM deviation selected. Connector should be a BNC female. HP-IB/IEEE 488: Used for remote control of the unit & the transfer data to a computer. Connector should be an HP-IB or IEEE-4888 female. Warranty Repair: The sweeper shall be covered by a 3 year warranty. Warranty shall cover all costs for labor, parts & matl. Delivery: 60 days ARO.
