RF Modules/PC Control

Hewlett-Packard Co. announces RF coverage of PC control to its electronic-calibration (ECal) series of products for HP vector-network analyzers.

The HP 85090 series RF modules provide calibration for the HP 8753C/D/E network analyzers, extending the range of electronic calibration for instruments below 1 GHz. The 85097A PC interface with control software allows users to control the ECal modules from a PC during the calibration process.

The interface with control software provides two modes of module control: manual control, via the display softkeys of the network analyzer and automatic controller, via a user's calibration program. Automatic control is useful for manufacturing applications because it helps minimize operator error and ensure consistency.

The HP ECal product family includes the HP 85060 series of microwave modules which calibrates from 1 GHz to 26.5 GHz for the network analyzers.
