Systems Designed for Productivity
Maintaining a competitive edge requires a measurement system with
the greatest accuracy, reliability and productivity available. HP measurement systems provide complete solutions with the excellent performance, accuracy and features you need. HP also offers complete,
dependable system support.
Far-Field Antenna Measurement Systems
A complete antenna measurement solution must have the flexibility to
measure a variety of antennas, and it must have features and per formance
to test the most challenging and complex antennas. The HP 85301B/C
antenna measurement systems meet these demanding requirements.
The HP 85301B system includes an HP 8530A microwave receiver and an HP 85310A distributed frequency converter with remote mixers. (The mixers can be located directly at the antenna under test.)
This system provides the best microwave performance, measurement
sensitivity and measurement flexibility available. It features broadband
coaxial mixers that cover the 2 to 26.5 GHz frequency range and
optional coaxial mixers that cover the 0.1 to 50 GHz frequency range. It
has the ability to extend frequency coverage to 110 GHz by using the
HP 85325A millimeter-wave subsystems.
The HP 85301C antenna measurement system includes an
HP 8530A microwave receiver with an HP 8511A or HP 8511B frequency
converter. It features good microwave performance, an economical price,
and broad frequency coverage from 45 MHz to 26.5 or 50 GHz.
Near-Field Antenna Measurement Systems
The HP 85301B/C antenna measurement system is also ideally suited for
near-field antenna measurements. Its rapid data acquisition speeds, frequency agility and fast channel-switching capability make these systems
ideal for the demanding requirements imposed by near-field measurement systems. HP can help you configure a near-field measurement system to meet your specific requirements.
Typical data available from the measurement systems
HP 8530A Microwave Receiver
The HP 8530A is a fast and accurate microwave receiver designed for
both manual and automated antenna measurement and radar cross-section measurement applications. It features fast data acquisition speeds,
excellent sensitivity, wide dynamic range, multiple test channels and
fast frequency agility—without compromising measurement accuracy.
The receiver provides broad frequency coverage from 45 MHz to 26.5
GHz, with extensions to 110 GHz.
Easy Upgrades for Existing Antenna Ranges
The HP 8530A microwave receiver can be a replacement receiver for
existing antenna or RCS range receivers. With the HP 85370A antenna
position encoder, the HP 8530A receiver can be interfaced to virtually
any positioning system. Also, any HP 8510 network analyzer can be upgraded to an HP 8530A microwave receiver and still retain network analyzer capability. The HP 85395A/B/C kits provide an on-site upgrade of
your existing network analyzer. Whether you upgrade one component or
a complete system, HP provides the reliable instrumentation you need,
and HP’s upgrade paths protect your capital investment in your measurement systems.
Customized Systems to Meet Your Requirements
The HP 85301B/C measurement systems are customized to fit your individual requirements. HP offers a variety of options to expand the capabilities of the standard systems and also offers customization ser vices
to meet unique measurement requirements. HP has microwave systems
engineers worldwide who understand your measurement needs and
who will work with you to configure a measurement system that meets
your specific requirements.
Radar Cross-Section Measurement Systems
The HP 85301B/C measurement systems fulfill the demanding needs
of RCS measurements. These systems feature broad frequency capability from 45 MHz to 110 GHz; a choice of frequency downconverters;
excellent measurement sensitivity and accuracy; and fast frequency
agility, data acquisition speeds and multiple-channel capability. HP
instrumentation is meeting the challenges of RCS measurements in
hundreds of RCS facilities worldwide.
