is connected to internal capacitors that may remain live

for ve seconds after disconnecting the plug from its power supply.

This is a Safety Class 1 Product (provided with a protective earthing

ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be

inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact.

Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside of the

instrument is likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional

interruption is prohibited.

For continued protection against re hazard, replace fuse only with

same type and ratings, (type nA/nV). The use of other fuses or materials

is prohibited.

W

ARNING

Before this instrument is switched on, make sure it has been properly

grounded through the protective conductor of the ac power cable to a

socket outlet provided with protective earth contact.

Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor, inside

or outside the instrument, or disconnection of the protective earth

terminal can result in personal injury.

Before this instrument is switched on, make sure its primary power

circuitry has been adapted to the voltage of the ac power source.

Failure to set the ac power input to the correct voltage could cause

damage to the instrument when the ac power cable is plugged in.

Refer

to the summary of safety considerations at the front of this

before

using the instrument.

Before turning the system on, make sure it is grounded through the

protective conductor of the power cable to a socket outlet with

protective earth contact. Any interruption of the protective (grounding)

conductor inside or outside the instrument, or disconnection of the

protective earth terminal, can result in personal injury.

Before turning the system on, be sure the line voltage selector is set to

the correct voltage for the power source.Failure to do this may cause

GHz. This signal is used by various modules and devices, including front-ends (RF

tracking

generators, and the external mixer interface module.For spans that are

or equal to 10 MHz, the sweep is fully synthesized using fractional-N techniques;

that are greater than or equal to 10 MHz, lock-and-roll tuning is used.

The controller circuitry contains the system rmware. This rmware controls and coordinates

measurements between other system modules which are slave modules to the LO module.

Examples of slave modules are the RF sections, IF sections, and tracking generator modules.

The video processor circuitry digitizes the video signal received from the IF section and

processes this signal using normal (rosenfell), positive peak, negative peak, or sample

detection.

If the HP 70900B local oscillator source was ordered separately, not as part of a precongured

system, refer to Chapter 2 for addressing and installation information and examples of rear

panel cable connections. Refer to the

HP 70004A Color Display User's Guide

for instructions

on installing the spectrum analyzer instrument keypad into the HP 70004A color display. Then,

12 The 300 MHz CALIBRATOR Output provides a010 dBm signal for the use as a

reference during spectrum analyzer calibration. Using this signal and internal

calibration routines the analyzer can correct for frequency errors in the resolution

bandwidth circuits and amplitude errors throughout the signal path.

13 The module hex-nut latch secures the module in an HP 70000 Series mainframe

When the module is being installed or removed from a mainframe,an8mm

hex-ball driver is used to turn the module latch. For information on module

installation, refer to Chapter 2.

1 300 MHz OUT 1 and 2 provide 300 MHz, 0 dB signals that are used by other

modules in the system for reference and phase-locking.

2 EXT TRIG IN is a TTL input that is used for the external trigger functions of the

spectrum analyzer. When in external trigger mode, the spectrum analyzer begins a

sweep upon receipt of this signal.

3 HSWP IN/OUT has a TTL signal that is high any time the LO is sweeping. This port

works both as an output and an input, allowing other modules in the system to

interrupt the sweep.

4 100 MHz IN receives the 100 MHz, 0 dB signal input that is used by the LO for all

frequency synthesis and phase-locking. If this signal is not present, the LO will use

Before turning the system on, make sure it is grounded through the

protective conductor of the power cable to a socket outlet with

protective earth contact. Any interruption of the protective (grounding)

conductor inside or outside the instrument, or disconnection of the

protective earth terminal, can result in personal injury.

Before turning the system on, be sure the line voltage selector is set to

the correct voltage for the power source.Failure to do this may cause

damage (a blown fuse) to the system when the power cable is plugged

in.
