General Information Model
83522A
range mode which gives it the capability of
automatically tracking the Model
8350A Sweep
Oscillator over octave and multi-octave fre-
quency bands. Two interconnections to the
Model
8350A are necessary to ensure that the
Model
8410B will phase lock properly. The
Model
8410B Source Control Cable (HP
08410-60146) connects the Model
8410B rear
panel SOURCE CONTROL connector to the
Model
8350A rear panel PROGRAMMING
CONNECTOR. Additionally, the Model
83522A
RF
Plug-in rear panel lV/GHz output connects
to the Model
8410B rear panel FREQ REF
INPUT. The Model
8410B Source Control Cable
connector pins and signals are illustrated in the
Model
8350A Sweep Oscillator Operating and
Service Manual.
1-39. Model
8755
Frequency Response
Test Set
1-40. The Model 8350A Sweep Oscillator with
the Model
83522A RF Plug-in installed is
compatible with the Model 8755 Frequency
Response Test Set for broadband swept scalar
measurements. The Model
8350A provides
internal 27.8 kHz square wave
AM
modulation
of the RF output eliminating unnecessary cable
connections to the Model 8755 or the use of an
external modulator. The Model
8350A can also
produce alternate sweeps through use of the
ALT n function which works in conjunction with
the channel switching circuits in the Model
8755C. This permits Channel
1
on the Model
8755C to respond only to the Model 8350A
current state and Channel 2 to the alternate
state. A single cable (HP Part Number
8120-
3174) connects between the Model 8350A rear
panel
ALT SWP INTERFACE connector and
the Model
8755C front panel ALT SWP INTER-
FACE connector.
1-41. Power Meters and Crystal Detectors
1-42. The RF output can be externally leveled
using the HP Model 432 Power Meter or
negative polarity output crystal detectors. Refer
to Section
I11 Operation of this manual for
detailed information on leveling techniques that
may be used with the Model
8350A/RF Plug-in
combination.
NOTE
The Model
435A
and
436A
Power Meters
should not be used in Model
8350A/
Model
83522A
external leveling systems.
