Series
S-Parameter Test Sets
Several S-parameter test sets are available for the HP 8510C network analyzer for broadband coaxial measurements from 45 MHz to 50 GHz. The
HP 8514B, 8515A, and 8517B test sets have an architecture that develops
a separate reference channel for each incident port. RF switching is done
with a built-in electronic switch. For active device measurements, the test
sets include the ability to apply dc bias (external) to the test port center
conductors. Also available are two 90 dB step attenuators (60 dB in the
HP 8517B) which allow control of the port 1 and port 2 signal levels.
Pulsed-RF Measurement Test Sets
The HP 85110A/L test sets are specially configured for operation in
pulsed-RF measurement systems (HP 85108). Four 90 dB step attenuators protect each input of the fundamentally-mixed down converter to
allow measurement of test devices with output power of 20 watts CW or
50 watts CW (HP 85110L). Special options are available to 50 GHz.

Frequency Converters
With the HP 8511A (26.5 GHz) and 8511B (50 GHz) frequency converters,
the HP 8510 becomes a general-purpose four-channel magnitude/phase
receiver. Add your own power splitters for transmission measurements,
and bridges or directional couplers for reflection measurements. Since
one input is used for system phase-lock, the other three inputs are
available for measurements of multi-port devices, subsystems, and
antennas. All four inputs have precision 3.5 mm (HP 8511A) or 2.4 mm
(HP 8511B) connectors.
Multiple Test Set Operation
A single HP 8510C system may be configured with two test sets. In this
configuration the test sets have different addresses, and the user may
select between them from the front panel of the HP 8510 without reconnections. This capability is useful, for example, when combining a
microwave coaxial test set with a millimeter-wave test set in the same
HP 8510 system or in manufacturing to increase throughput, one test
set can be used to make a measurement while a device is being connected to a second test set.
IF switching (Option 001): In the multiple test set configuration,
the 20 MHz IF signal is daisy-chained from the test sets to the HP 8510.
This capability requires test set Option 001 in one of the two test sets.
The RF signal must be routed to the desired test set using a coaxial
RF switch and an HP 11713A switch driver. The switch driver is controlled
automatically by the HP 8510C over the HP 8510 system interface bus.

Test Port Cables and Adapters
Test port cables and adapter sets are available for various connector
types. The cable/adapter configurations are described below. All cables
are designed with one end that connects directly to the special rugged
ports of the network analyzer test set, and one end that connects to the
device-under-test.
Special test port adapter sets are also available to convert the
rugged ports of the network analyzer test set to the desired connector
interface. Each kit contains two adapters, one male and one female.
Both the cables and the special adapters have one special female
connector which is designed to connect directly to the 3.5 mm test port
(2.4 mm for HP 8517B and 8722C). This side of the cable or adapter can
only be connected to the test set port, and cannot be mated to a standar d
3.5 mm (or 2.4 mm) male connector. The male test set ports, however,
can be mated to a standard 3.5 mm (or 2.4 mm) female connector.
