GENERAL
INFORMATION.
J-2. The -hp- Model

Model
462A
Wide Band Amplifier is used primarily
where rise time is important. The Model 461

frequency response is
II
dB from 1kHz to
150
Mliz.
The Model
462A
rise and fall times are less than
.:;.
nanoseconds. Either 40 dB or 20 dB gain can be
selected
with
the front panel GAIN (DB switch). The
Models
46JA
and
462A
are shown in Figure
J-L
The
specifications for
both
instruments are given in Table
J.l.
1-3. Since the Models 461 A and
462A
are nearly
identical, this manual will discuss the instruments in
terms of the Model 46J A. The Model
462A
will be
mentioned only when its operation differs

of
the Model 461A.

INSTRUMENT
IDENTIFICATION.
1-7. Hewlett-Packard uses a two-section serial
number. The first section (prefix) identifies a
series of instruments. The last section (suffix)
identifies a particular instrument within the series.
If aletter is included with the serial number, it
identifies the country in which the instrument was
1-2
manufactured.
If
the serial prefix
of
your instru-
ment differs from the one on the title page
of
this
manual, achange sheet will be supplied to make
this manual compatable with newer instruments or
the backdating information in Appendix C will
adapt this manual to earlier instruments. All
corresponcence with Hewlett-Packard should in-
clude the complete serial number.

INSTALLATION.
Section
11
•
•
2·2,
This
section
contains information and
instructions necessary for the installation and
shipping of the Model 461A Amplifier. Included are
initial inspection procedures, power and grounding
requirements,
installation
information, and
instructions for repackaging for shipment.
2·3.
INITIAL
INSPECTION.
24.
This instrument was carefully inspected both
mechanically and electrically before shipment.
It
should be free
of
mars and scratches and in perfect
electrical order upon receipt. To confirm this, the
instrument should be inspected for physical damage
in transit. Also check for supplied accessories, and
test the electrical performance
of
the instrument
using the procedure outlined in Paragraph 5-5.
If
there is damage or deficiency, see the warranty on the
inside front cover
of
this manual.
2·5.
POWER
REQUIREMENTS.
2·6. The Model 461A can be operated from any
source of 115 or 230 volts (+/·10%), at
4810440
Hertz. With
the
instrument disconnected from
the
ac
power source, move the 115/230 V slide switch on
the rear panel until the desired line voltage appears.
Power dissipation is 5 watts maximum.
2·7.
GROUNDING
REQUIREMENTS.
2-8. To protect operating personnel, the National
Electrical
Manufacturers' Association (NEMA)
recommends that the instrument panel and cabinet be
grounded. All Hewlett-Packard instruments are
equipped
with
athree-conductor power cable which,
when plugged into an appropriate receptacle, grounds
the instrument.
The
offset pin on the power cable
three-prong connector is the ground wire.
2-9. To preserve the protection feature when
operating the instrument from a two-contact
outlet,
use a three-prong to two-prong adapter and connect
the green pigtail on the adapter to ground.
2·11. The Model
46lA
is fully transistorized;
therefore, no special cooling is required. However, the
instrument should not be operated where the ambient
temperature exceeds 55° C(1310F) or the relative
humidity exceeds 95%.
2·12.
BENCH
MOUNTING.
2·13. The Model
46lA
is shipped
with
plastic feet
and tilt stand in place, ready for use as a bench
instrument.
2·14.
RACK
MOUNTING.
2·15. The Model 461A may be rack mounted by
using an adapter frame (·hp· Part No. 5060.(797).
The adapter frame is a rack frame
that
accepts any
combination
of
submodular units.
It
can be rack
mounted
only.
For
additional information, address
inquiries to your -hp- Sales and Service Office. (See
Appendix B for office locations.)
2·16.
REPACKAGING
FOR
SHIPMENT.
2-]7. The following paragraphs contain a general
guide for repackaging
of
the isntrument for shipment.
Refer to Paragraph 2-18 if the original container is to
be used; 2-19 if it is not.
If
you
have
any
questions,
contact
your
local -hp- Sales and Service Office. (See
Appendix B for office locations.)
----NOTE----
If
the instrument is to be shipped
to Hewlett-Packard for service or
repair,
attach a tag to the
instrument identifying the owner
and indicating the service or repair
to be accomplished; Include the
model number and full serial
number
of
the instrument. In any
correspondence,
identify the
instrument by model number, serial
number, and serial number prefix.
2-1

Section II
2·18.
If
original container is to be used, proceed as
follows:
a. Place instrument in original container if
available.
If
it is not available, a suitable
container can be purchased from your
nearest -hp-Salesand ServiceOffice.
b. Ensure that container is well sealed with
strong tape or metal bands.
2-19.
If
original container is not to be used, proceed
as follows:
2-2
Models461A/462A
a. Wrap instrument in heavy paper or plastic
before placingin an inner container.
b. Place packing material around all sides
of
instrument and protect panel face with
cardboard strips.
c. Place instrument and inner container in a
heavy carton or wooden box and seal with
strong tape or metal bands.
d. Mark shipping container with "DELICATE
INSTRUMENT," "FRAGILE" etc.

0.5
volts with minimum distortion. Three 651A's or
652A's can be cascaded with a minimum input
of
40
microvolts. For protection
of
the first instrument, a
diode voltage limiter with two diodes in parallel (see
Figure 3-3) can be used. To protect the diodes at high
voltages a 500 ohm resistor must be placed in series
with the input signal. In doing this a ten to one
attenuation is obtained for the first amplifier.
Therefore the first amplifier must be set to 40 dB
gain while the other two should be set to 20 dB gain.
The second two amplifier inputs are protected by the
clipped output
of
the preceding amplifier. Should
larger output signals be desired, the Model461A's can
be cascaded with other amplifiers. Concerning
frequencies from 10 MHzto 150
MHz,
the -hp-230A
Power Amplifier can be used in the fourth cascade
position.

GENERAL
DESCRIPTION.
4-2. The Models 461A and 462A Amplifiers are
essentially identical. In the Model 462A some
of
the
component values are changed slightly to improve its
pulse response. In this section
both
instruments will
be presented in terms of the Model 461A.
4·3. Figure 4-1 shows a simplified block diagram
of
the Model 461A. The amplifier is a five stage,
stagger-tuned, cascaded amplifier with emitter
follower input and
output
stages. The gain isswitched
from 40 dB to 20 dB by attenuating the input by 20
dB. The power supply is a conventional series
regulated supply with +15 volt and -IS volt outputs.

CIRCUITS.
4-5. Figure 5-12 shows the schematic diagram
of
the
Model 461A. A3Q3 is the input emitter follower,
matching the 50 ohm input impedance to the input
impedance
of
the
amplifier. Transistors A3Q4
through A3Q8 constitute a live stage, RC coupled,
cascaded amplifier. Each stage has a gain
of
8.4 dB. 2
dB is lost in the input and output emitter followers,
givingthe amplifier a total gain of 40 dB.
4-6. Each stage has an an LR feedback circuit with
an adjustable inductor. The feedback circuit in each
stage controls the overall gain
of
the amplifier at a
different frequency lso the amplifier must be
stagger-tuned, There is some interaction between
the
stages at certain frequencies. A3Q9 is
the
output
emitter
follower, and it matches the amplifier
output
to a50
ohm
output
impedance.

4-8. The power supply generates +15 volts and -IS

A2CR3 establishes a IS volt reference. Control
transistor A2Q2 detects differences between the
reference voltage and the supply
output,
and its
output
