Repairing HP 8592D analyzers (Shifted frequency)
« on: March 07, 2023, 03:10:48 pm »
I've been tasked to repair test equipment at work, most are simple repairs, i.e. overloaded output stages, blown transistors...

Now I have several HP 8592D analyzers, the service manual is a bit of a nightmare so I was wondering if anyone had similar issues and could show some guidelines, the reported frequency is shifted ~200KHz lower and slowly gets to 500KHz as it warms up, so 300MHz signal appears as 299.5MHz.
Tried the self-calibration, never gets better than that.
One was about 80MHz wrong  before calibration, also calibrating 500KHz lower... ::)
Tested the test signals with another analyzer, both are pretty good, outputting 300.01MHz/299.998MHz.

Then a third one reads 10dB lower when cold, fixes itself when warming up, so I hope it's some defective connection, didn't look at it yet.
