a frequency range of 2.0 to 26.0 GHz
26.5
GHz
overrange). The output is leveled
calibrated from 1-8dBm to -100 dBm,
on the frequency and options. For
information, see Table 1-l. Frequency,
level, and all other functions except line
ca,nberemotely programmed via HP-IB.
Long-term frequency stability is dependenton
time base,either an internal or external
oscillator. The internal crystal reference
operates at 10 MHz while an external
may operate at 5 or 10 MHz. The output of
Signal Generator is exceptionally flat due to
action of the internal automatic leveling
(AL0 loop.
The Signal Generator is comoatible with
the extent indicated by the following code:
AHl,T5,TEO,L3,LEO, SRl, RLl,PPl, DCl,
and CO.The Signal Generator interfaces with
bus via three-stats TTL circuitry. An
of the compatibility code can be found in
Standard 488 (1978), “IEEE Standard
Interface for Programmable
or the identical ANSI Standard MC1.1. For
detailed information relating to
control of the Signal Generator, refer to
