Hello Terry,


Wow, how did you acquire one of these?  Before my retirement I had one
in "my" (Hughes) lab.  I seldom used the s-parameter TS, since I also
had available an HP8510C.  If I remember correctly (risky propostion
these days), the TS was not a true reversing one where all four
parameters could me measured with one connection.  There certainly
wasn't enough trace memory for all four parameters, maybe that was the
limitation.  Anyway IIRC you will need software to make full two-port
measurements.



I saved for a while, then spent $2000.


That is a very good price I think. It is a nice analyzer. The only downside is that it won't function as a spectrum analyzer.

Regards, Joerg 

Hi Joerg,

I was pretty happy with it. I figured out your last point while reading the 3577 data***, so I spent $1000 and bought an HP3585A 20Hz - 40MHz speccy. 


I had one of those too in "my" lab.  I would sure give a K-buck for
one.  Where are you finding these deals?

Now you need an '8566B! 

Ebay, see reply to Fred below. whats an 8566B?

cheers
