8566/8568 to PXA
The HP 8566 (22 GHz) and 8568 (1500 MHz) are legendary in the RF and microwave industry. These were the first analyzers with 10 Hz resolution bandwidth for high sensitivity measurements in the presence of large-amplitude signals, and full 2 to 22 GHz preselected tuning range on the 8566. If you are still using one of these venerable instruments, now is an excellent time to explore technology refresh with the PXA signal analyzer. Backward code-compatibility with the 8566/8568 is provided standard with each PXA (N9061A remote language compatibility application).
