It is based upon the HP 8920A but with increased measurement speed, accuracy and larger user memory (PCMCIA memory card).
RF frequency range: 30 MHz to 1 GHz,
with 6 dB fixed attenuator (Opt. 006) 15 W max. input
Its standard features are:
Synthesized AM/FM signal generator
AM/FM modulation analyzer
Duplex offset generator
SSB demodulator
RF and AF power meter
RF and audio frequency counter
AC/DC voltmeter
SIN AD meter
Distortion meter
Additional two variable 0 to 25 kHz audio sources and a 2 Hz ... 50 kHz Digital Oscilloscope come with the standard configuration.
Depending on the mode of operation the sensitivity is between 1 and 2 µV.
