The 3577B is a high-performance, yet economical, two-channel, (optional three-channel) network analyzer for use in both research and development and manufacturing. It is used to measure magnitude/phase, insertion loss, group delay, SWR, electrical length, and gain compression from 5 Hz to 200 MHz. When used with the 35676A/B reflection/transmission kit, it can also measure return loss, reflection coefficient, and impedance.
With the optional HP Instrument BASIC, the 3577B can execute user-written programs designed to automate measurement systems, compute parameters (such as pass band ripple and 3 dB bandwidth) or customize the user-interface. This includes system control of other GPIB instruments and peripherals via the GPIB. A programmable I/O port, located on the rear panel, extends the HP Instrument BASIC control to non-GPIB devices, such as device handlers, environmental chambers, and even the device-under-test itself. Of course, the 3577B is fully programmable, either internally with HP Instrument BASIC, or externally via GPIB.
An optional high-stability frequency reference oven is available for those users not having an in-house frequency standard. HP also offers a wide range of accessories, including S-parameter and reflection/transmission test sets, as well as signal injection devices for feedback control systems such as power supplies and servo loops. -
