Model 8640B TM 9-4935-601-14-7&P
Table 1-1. Specifications (1 of 5)
(All specifications apply over the nominal Frequency Bands and over the top 10 dB of the output level vernier range
unless otherwise specified.)
FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS
Range: 500 kHz to 512 MHz in 10 Octave Bands (to
1024 MHz with External Frequency Doubler).
Bands and Band Overlap: Bands extend 10% below
and 7% above the nominal Frequency Bands shown
below.

1
In the External Doubler Band. the 8640B counter displays the actual doubled output frequency. and the FM meter
indicates the proper peak deviation.
2
When phase locked, Counter Resolution error is eliminated.
3
These specifications are given for the 8640B internal reference. When using an external reference, drift in the
locked mode will depend on the external reference characteristics.
4
Phase lock may break due to temperature change (i.e., during warm-up). Simply relock at desired frequency.
5
This specification is for short term, transient line changes.
