The manual provides guidance on setting up and operating the HP 8340A Synthesized Sweeper with the HP 8410B/C Network Analyzer, including instructions for synchronizing the devices and ensuring accurate frequency measurements. It also offers troubleshooting tips, such as adjusting sweep time and range to maintain phase locking and using specific connections for frequency reference and display synchronization.
Manual Overview
The manual for the HP 8410C Network Analyzer with the 8340A Synthesized Sweeper focuses on ensuring proper synchronization and measurement capabilities. Troubleshooting involves checking the synchronization between the 8340A and 8410B/C using the Source Control Cable (HP P/N 08410-60146), which provides handshake lines for synchronization. Error diagnostics are not explicitly detailed, but ensuring the sweep time and range are set correctly is crucial for phase locking. Calibration and adjustments are facilitated by the 1 V/GHz output from the 8340A, which provides a frequency reference to the 8410B/C. Board-level guidance includes connections for frequency markers and blanking signals, essential for accurate display on the 8412B Phase-Magnitude Display and 8414B Polar Display. The manual also outlines the setup for waveguide measurements between 18 and 26.5 GHz using the K8747A Reflection/Transmission Test Unit. The document emphasizes the importance of correct cable connections and settings to maintain the system’s dynamic range and measurement accuracy.
Quick Issues Covered
- Synchronize 8340A sweeper with 8410B/C for phase locking.
- Use 8340A's NEG BLANK for 8410B/C display units.
- Connect Z-AXIS BLANK/MKRS for marker synchronization.

Installation / Setup
The setup involves using the HP 8340A Synthesized Sweeper with the HP 8410B/C Network Analyzer. The Source Control Cable (HP P/N 08410-60146) is used to synchronize the two instruments for continuous multi-octave coaxial magnitude and phase measurement from 110 MHz to 18 GHz. The 8340A provides a frequency reference to the 8410B/C for synchronization. The 8410B/C display units require the NEG BLANK from the 8340A as the blanking signal, and the Z-AXIS BLANK/MKRS line from the 8340A connects to the MARKERS input on the 8414B Polar Display and the Z AXIS input on the 8412B Phase-Magnitude Display. The SWEEP OUTPUT of the 8340A outputs a voltage signal proportional to the frequency output, necessary for the 8412B Phase-Magnitude Display. Waveguide measurements between 18 and 26.5 GHz can be made with the K8747A Reflection/Transmission Test Unit, which uses two 8340A units.
Operation
The HP 8340A Synthesized Sweeper is compatible with the 8410B/C Network Analyzer systems and accessories. The Source Control Cable (HP P/N 08410-60146) synchronizes the two instruments to provide continuous multi-octave coaxial magnitude and phase measurement capability from 110 MHz to 18 GHz with a 65 dB dynamic range. The 8410B/C FREQ RANGE should be set to AUTO, and the sweep time on the 8340A should be slow enough and/or sweep range narrow enough to ensure phase locking of the 8410B/C receiver over the entire sweep range. The 1 V/GHz output of the 8340A provides a frequency reference to the 8410B/C for synchronization. The 8410B/C display units require the NEG BLANK from the 8340A as the blanking signal. The Z-AXIS BLANK/MKRS line from the 8340A connects to the MARKERS input on the 8414B Polar Display and to the Z AXIS input on the 8412B Phase-Magnitude Display. The SWEEP OUTPUT provides a 0 to +10 volt signal in proportion to the swept or CW frequency output. This connection is necessary only when using the 8412B Phase-Magnitude Display.
