Module Description

Both the HP 70907A and the HP 70907B External Mixer Interface mo dules (EMIMs)

are 1/8-width mo dules designed to plug into HP 70000 Mo dular Measurement System

mainframes. The mo dules are slaves controlled by an HP 70000 Mo dular Measurement

System master elementsuch as the HP 70900B Lo cal Oscillator.

Both EMIMs allow HP 70000 Mo dular Measurement systems to operate with the HP 11970

Series of external mixers. The HP 70907B also allows operation with the HP 11974 Series of

preselected millimeter-wavefront ends. At turn on, the system master sets the HP 70907B

default state to

preselector-magnetics in an HP 11974 Series front end. If the HP 70907B is used with an

external mixer from the HP 11970 Series,

Serial Numbers

Attached to the front frame of the mo dule is a serial-number lab el. The serial number is in

two parts. The rst four digits and letter are the serial number prex; the last ve digits are

the sux. See Figure 1-1. The prex is the same for all identical modules; it only changes

when a change is made to the mo dule. The sux, however, is assigned sequentially and is

dierent for each mo dule. The contents of this manual apply to modules with the serial
