Vector Signal Analyzers

Configuration Guide
The Hewlett-Packard 89400 series vector signal analyzers perform
critical measurements of signal quality quickly and easily. Powerful
yet flexible digital signal processing furnishes insights into signal
characteristics that, in the past, often required special purpose
or customized test systems.
Three analyzers comprise the product family. Two RF versions
include the HP 89441A, which operates from dc to 2.65 GHz with
enhanced sensitivity and dynamic range, and the standard
performance HP 89440A, with coverage to 1.8 GHz. One RF input
channel is standard on both models, with options for an RF source
and a second baseband-only input.
For those concerned only with signals below 10 MHz, the HP 89410A
provides the same signal processing and analysis as the models above,
less the RF front-end section. A built-in signal source is standard,
and a second input channel is optional.

Radio Test Personalities
The HP 89411A 21.4 MHz downconverter adapts the HP 89410A for
use with user-furnished front ends. In conjunction with an HP 8590or HP 70000-series spectrum analyzer (or external receiver with a
21.4 MHz IF output), frequency coverage into the microwave region
can be readily obtained.
A wide selection of options allows HP 89400 series vector signal
analyzers to be configured for specific applications. Measurement
personalities bring one-button simplicity to common measurement
tasks. The following pages of this guide show recommended configurations for several key application areas.
For complete descriptions and technical specifications for these
analyzers and their options, please consult the HP 89400 series
technical data sheets and product brochure. An up-to-date index
of all HP 89400 literature is available electronically by sending
an e-mail message containing the single word “HP89400” to
