This manual may contain references to HP or Hewlett-Packard. Please note that
Hewlett-Packard's former test and measurement, semiconductor products and
chemical analysis businesses are now part of Agilent Technologies. We have
made no changes to this manual copy. In other documentation, to reduce
potential confusion, the only change to product numbers and names has been in
the company name prefix: where a product number/name was HP XXXX the
current name/number is now Agilent XXXX. For example, model number
HP8648A is now model number Agilent 8648A.

Installation at a Glance
vi
The HP 70300A RF tracking generator is a 2 /8-width module d esigned to work i n a n
HP 70000 Series modular measurement system. The HP 70300A RF tracking g enerator has a
frequency r ange of 20 Hz to 2.9 G Hz and is a s lave module c ontrolled by the HP 70900A/B
local oscillator source . The output of the H P 7 0300A RF tracking g enerator t racks the tuned
frequency o f t he spectrum a nalyzer (such as the HP 71210A microwave spectrum analyzer)
with which i t i s used.
Early versions o f t he HP 70300A RF tracking generator had the output step attenuator
available only as an option. Current versions of the module have the s tep a ttenuator as part of
the s tandard module .
