Figure 1-1. HP 8560A Front Panel
1. FREQUENCY, SPAN, and AMPLITUDE are the fundamental functions for most measurements. The HOLD key freezes the active function and holds it at a set value until a function key is pressed again. HOLD also blanks the softkey menu and expands the graticule display horizontally to fill the full CRT.
2.INSTRUMENT STATE functions generally affect the state of the entire spectrum analyzer, not just the state of a single function.
Instrument Overview 1-1
3.MARKER functions read out frequencies and amplitudes along the spectrum analyzer trace; allow you to make relative measurements; automatically locate the signal of highest amplitude on a trace; and tune the analyzer to track a signal automatically.
4.CONTROL functions allow you to adjust the resolution and video bandwidths, the sweep time, and the display, and to vary other functions that control spectrum analyzer measurement capabilities.
5.DATA keys, STEP keys, and the knob allow you to change the numeric value of an active function. Use the data keys to enter an exact value or to move quickly from one end of the frequency range to the other. The step keys vary a value in predefined increments or, for some functions, in increments that you choose. The knob allows you to fine-tune most numeric values.
6.The front-panel connectors include an RF input, an active"-probe power, a 300 MHz calibrator signal, a 310.7 MHz IF input, and a first LO output. A short specification summary of these connectors is outlined in Table 1-1 below. The IF input is not available with an HP 8560A Option 002. A volume knob is provided for making adjustments to the volume of the built-in speaker. The LINE button turns the spectrum analyzer on and off. The LED above the LINE button indicates whether or not ac power is applied to the spectrum analyzer.
Caution
'
The maximum input level to the INPUT 50n is +30 dBm with a minimum of 10 dB input attenuation. Both the HP 8560A and HP 8561B are ac/ de coupled. When ac coupled, the maximum de voltage to the RF input is 50 V. When de coupled, the maximum de voltage is 0 V. Default power-up mode is ac coupled. It is best to leave the analyzer in ac-coupled mode for maximum protection. Exceeding the maximum safe input levels can damage the input attenuator and the input mixer.

Caution
The'LINE input operates at nominally 115 V (47-440 Hz) or at nominally 230 V (47-66Hz).
J1 provides a 40 impedance earphone jack.
J2 is the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HP-IB) connector.
J3 allows connection of option modules, such as the HP 85629B Test and Adjustment Module or the HP 85620A Mass Memory Module.
J4 provides a detected video signal that is proportional to the vertical deflection of the CRT trace. The output range is 0-1 V when terminated in 500, and can be used when the display is in 10 dB/div or LINEAR mode. For resolution bandwidth settings less than 300Hz, a
4.8 kHz IF signal with a de offset is present at J4.
J5 provides an external trigger input. The input signal range is 0-5 V (TTL). When the trigger is in external mode, the instrument sweep triggers on the rising, positive edge of the signal (about +1.5 V).
1·6 Instrument Overview
J6 provides a blanking output from D-5 V (TTL) that is low (0 V) during spectrum analyzer sweeps. The output is high (5 V) during retrace and when the instrument is between bands in multiband sweeps. Use this output for pen lift when plotting with nondigital plotters. This output is also useful for synchronizing instruments.
J8 provides two different selectable outputs: a 0-10 V ramp corresponding to the sweep ramp that tunes the local oscillator, or a sweeping de output of 0.5 V/GHz. The sweeping de output ranges from 0-2.9 GHz for an HP 8560A, 0-6.5 GHz for an HP 85~1B,_ap.d . .
0-22 GHz for an HP 8563A. The output can be selected from the softkeys 0 -i> f(nf2 LO} SWP;. and Q5 V/G~ (!AV) , respectively, which are in the .·REAR PAJlF-· softkey menu under the (AUX CTRL) key. When using preselected external mixers, the 0.5 V /GHz output provides a signal of approximately 1.5 V/GHz of 10 frequency to control the preselected mixer. External tracking generators, such as the HP 85640A, require the 0.5 V/GHz output for operation.
J9 provides a 10 MHz, 0 dBm minimum, time-base reference signal. This connector can be switched to an input, in order to connect an external reference. An external reference must
be 10 MHz at a minimum of 0 dBm. To select the external reference mode, use the softkey 'lO'MH,Z ~XT !NT in the REA~.PANEL softkey menu under the (AUX CTRL) key.
JlO is the output for an HP 8560A Option 001, HP 8561B Option 001, or HP 8563A, 310.7 MHz IF output.
Jll is an external leveling input for use with an HP 8560A Option 002 (built-in tracking generator).
X POSN, Y POSN, and TRACE ALIGN allow you to_align !_he spectrum analyzer CRT using a special CRT pattern. Refer to the softkey CRT;ADJ PA'!l'ER!l under the (CAL) menu, or consult the Installation and Verification Manual.
Instrument Overview 1·7
Introducing Menus and Softkeys
Pressing a front-panel key allows access to menus of softkeys that appear along the right-hand side of the display screen. These softkeys provide additional functions, depending on the
front-panel key selected. The single, dedicated front-panel keys can be used for simple measurements, along with menus of additional functions for more complex measurements.
Softkeys are designated by shading on the key label, for example·~.SPAN/; front-panel keys are designated by a box around the key label, for example (sPAN). The softkeys that are displayed depend on which front-panel key is pressed, which menu level is enabled, and whether the softkeys are applicable to the currently-defined measurement parameters. For
example, press This calls up the menu of related frequency functions shown in Figure 1-4. Nate on the menu the function labeled ~JER. FREQ;. CENTER also appears in
the active function block, indicating that it is the active frequency function and can now be changed using any of the data entry controls.
For some softkey functions, data values are required. These may be entered using one of the following three methods: the data keys, the step keys, and the RPG (rotary pulse generator) knob. If applicable, the use of each method is described in the softkey description.
Note |
When entering some data values, such as unitless entries, the (ENTER) key must |
|
be used to terminate the data entry. |

To activate a di:ffer~:l)_tfr~q"':lency function-for example, the start frequency-press the key to the right of the '~fiiT~~Uq; annotation. START now appears in the active function block,
indicating its currently active status. At the bottom of some menus, a ]fORti softkey allows access to additional, related softkeys; the number of pages are also indi~ate(fon this softkey.
At the top of the menu, a menu title names the front-panel key pressed to obtain the current menu. To activate other frequency functions, press the appropriate softkeys. To select a different softkey menu, press another front-panel key.
When using softkey functions that can either be turned on and off or auto-coupled and
manually controlled, the underline indicates which part of the function is enabled. For example, the AJ~~:AlJ'l'~";MAl{ function is auto-coupled when AUTO is underlined.
For a complete listing of all the front-panel keys and their softkeys, refer to softkey menu Tables 2-4 through 2-7 at the end of this chapter.
To become more familiar with softkeys, review the following basic measurement example.
Instrument Overview 1-9
Making a Basic Measurement
A basic measurement involves tuning the spectrum analyzer to place a signal on the screen then measuring the frequency and amplitude of the signal with a marker.
We can measure an input signal in four simple steps.
1.Set the center frequency.
2.Set the frequency span.
3.Activate the marker.
4.Set the amplitude.
As an example, we will measure the 300 MHz calibration signal. First, switch on the spectrum analyzer (for maximum accuracy, if the analyzer has just been powered up, allow for a 5-minute warm-up). Next, connect the analyzer's CAL OUTPUT to the INPUT 500 on the front panel and complete the four steps as described below.
1.Set the center frequency.
Press (FREQUENCY). This activates the center frequency function, indicated by CENTER appearing in the active function block on the left side of the display (see Figure 1-5). To set the center frequency to 300 MHz, use the keys in the DATA section of the front panel and enter 300 MHz. These data keys allow you to select the exact numeric value of the active function, which, in this case, is the center frequency. The step keys and knob also allow you to select function values.

2.Set the frequency span.
Press (SPAN). Note that SPAN is now displayed in the active function block, identifying it as
the current active function. To reduce the frequency span-for example, to 20 MHz--either key in 20 MHz or use the (!) key to "step down" to this value. (Like data keys, step keys can also be used to change the numeric value of the active function.) The resulting display is shown in Figure 1-6. Note that the resolution and video bandwidths are coupled to the

3.Activate the marker.
Press (MKR), which is located in the MARKER section of the front panel. This activates the normal marker and places it at the center of the trace (in this case, at or near the peak of the signal). The marker reads both the frequency and the amplitude, and displays
these values in the active function block. In this case, the marker reads 300.00 MHz and -10.00 dBm,'as shown in Figure 1-7.

Instrument Overview 1-11
Generally, placing the signal peak at the reference level provides the best measurement accuracy. To adjust the signal peak to the reference level (Figure 1-8), press (AMPLITUDE), then key in -10 dBm, or use either the step keys or the knob. Using the knob is the easiest way to fine-tune the signal peak to the reference level, which is located at the top of the
graticule. Since the marker is active, a faster method to fine-tune the signal peak to the reference level is to use Miji{ER['-~ ~- LVL , which is located under the (MKR - > ) key.
This function sets the reference level equal to the marker amplitude value.

Reference-Level Calibration
The reference-level calibration function REF'-LVL ADJ' allows the analyzer's internal gain to be adjusted so that when the calibrator signal is connected to the input, a reference level equal to the calibrator amplitude displays the signal at top-screen. The procedure below uses the previous basic measurement to calibrate the instrument.
Turn the markers off by pressing (MKR), then Press (CAL).
menu of calibration routines. The fifth function on this new list, labeled
allows you to calibrate the amplitude of the instrument. Press REF LVL ApJ~ to activate the function. To calibrate the spectrum analyzer, use the knob on the front panel and adjust the peak of the signal to the reference level, as shown in Figure 1-9. Note the number that appears in the active function block. In this example, the number 5 appears when the signal is adjusted. This number, which ranges from -33 to +33, is a relative value indicating how much amplitude correction was required to calibrate the spectrum analyzer. The number is
usually around 0. If the amplitude is at either end of the range, or if it cannot be adjusted to a value within thi~ ra11g~, consult the Installation and Verification Manual. To store the value, press the ~TORE ~ €V'l softkey. When entering or storing a value using the data keys, the
entry must be terminated with the (ENTER) key, located in the lower right-hand corner of the analyzer.

Figure 1-9. Peaked Signal to Reference Level
Recalibrating the reference level is usually necessary only when the ambient temperature changes more than 10 degrees Celsius. Because the spectrum analyzer continually monitor and reduce any IF errors, executing the reference-level calibration is seldom necessary.
