80A01 Trigger Prescale Limiting Preamplifier Module User Manual
This section contains specifications for the 80A01 Trigger Prescale Preamplifier
Module. All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as "typical." Typical
specifications are provided for your convenience but are not guaranteed.
All specifications apply to all models of module unless noted otherwise. To meet
specifications, three conditions must first be met:
H The instrument must have been calibrated/adjusted at an ambient tempera-
ture between +20_ C and +30_ C.
H The oscilloscope must have been operating continuously for 20 minutes
within the operating temperature range specified.
H The instrument must be in an environment with temperature, altitude,
humidity, and vibration within the operating limits described in these
specifications
The 80A01 Trigger Prescale Preamplifier module is a single-channel 8-14 GHz
AC coupled limiting preamplifier. It increases the trigger sensitivity of the 8000
Series instruments to v200 mV
