Introduction

This document is intended for use with the HP 8510B/C Option 008 Network Analyzer
and is a supplement to the HP 8510B/C Operating and Programming manual. It contains
descriptions of the pulsed-RF network analyzer system features for measurements in the
frequency domain and in the pulse pro le domain. With respect to the standard, swept CW
system, operation of the pulsed-RF system is identical except that the measurement is made
at a speci c, known time during each pulse. For information about network analysis, please
refer to HP Product Note 8510-10, HP 8510B Introductory User's Guide, for an introduction
to using the front panel for measurement setup, measurement calibration, and basic network
measurements.
