GENERAL INFORMATION
1-1. DESCRIPTION.
1-9. Warranty Exceptions.
1-2. The Hewlett-Packard Model 3580A Spectrum Ana-
lyzer is a low frequency instrument that has been optimized
for use in the 5 Hz to 50 kHz range. The 3580A functions
as
a signal analyzer or as a network analyzer. When used as
a signal analyzer, the 3580A provides a graphical display of
the spectral components of an input signal. When used as a
network analyzer, the 3580A plots the amplitude vs.
frequency characteristics of 2-port networks such as ampli-
fiers, attenuators and filters.
1-3. The major features of the 3580A include a digitally
stored display, adaptive sweep, six selectable bandwidths
(1 Hz - 300 Hz), 30 nV sensitivity and 80 dB dynamic
range. These standard features, along with optional bal-
anced inputs and an internal rechargeable battery pack,
make the 3580A ideally suited for communications, geo-
physical, oceanography and metrology applications.
