Agilent (Hewlett-Packard) 8508A Vector Voltmeter
Vector Voltmeter, 100 kHz - 1.0 GHz/2.0 GHz
The 8508A vector voltmeter is a fully automatic tuned receiver that makes RF voltage and phase
measurements easy. Its narrowband measuring technique gives a dynamic range of over 90 dB
and a sensitivity of 10 µV to trace even the smallest signal. The 8508A also measures the phase
difference between its two input channels with at least 0.1 degree resolution over a full +180 to 180 degree range, so they can be used for another complete set of measurements - such as
electrical length, phase distortion, or impedance.
