Analyzer Description

The HP 8719D/20D/22D is a high performance vector network analyzer for laboratory or
production measurements of reflection and transmission parameters. It integrates a high
resolution synthesized RF source, an S-parameter test set, and a four-channel three-input
receiver (four-input receiver, Option 400) to measure and display magnitude, phase, and group
delay responses of active and passive RF networks.
Two independent primary channels, two auxiliary channels, and a large screen color
show the measured results of one or all channels, in cartesian or polar/Smith chart formats.
For information on options, refer to "Options Available" later in this chapter.
The analyzer has the additional following features:
Measurement functions selection with front panel keys and softkey menus.
