HP Agilent 8702 8703 Lightwave Component Analyzer?
(1/1)
wd5jfr:
The basic 8702x and 8703x from outward appearance look like a relabeled 8753 VNA. Looks like they use black boxes to convert nm light waves down to GHz RF for lightwave component analysis. I'm curious if these units with 2 RF ports are useable as a regular VNA or are there some gotchyas?
Thanks
Hank

I know almost nothing about these, other than they can be used for S-parameter measurements of any combination of optical and electrical connections. i.e. O/O, E/O, O/E, E/E.
Also be aware that if used with a 3.5" floppy they store data using LIF format which makes data transfers a bit difficult. GPIB should be quite usable but finding software to work with them.. ??
I would expect other gotchas!
