Just curious if anyone has any idea where to find info on option H17 - ATT uwave radio test system.
I realize this was a special handling option back in the day. Just curious what are the specs. This seems to somehow shift the measurement up to a band in the 11Ghz range - but I can't believe the stock 8590A front end has that kind of bandwidth. Or could it with this option? Or this is perhaps just a change in the on-screen measurement parameters where an outboard mixer brings the frequency into the 1.5Ghz range?
Cheers

Hello Joe,
I managed to find a little bit of information for you from our internal databases. Now, keep in mind that this being a special handling product, nothing here is a "hard" spec. This means that it is not guaranteed that any given 8590A-H17 will meet the values shown here.
Those who allowed me to share this information told me to preface with:
THE STATUS OF THIS PRODUCT IS “OBSOLETE”. THIS IS NOT A QUOTE.
From this, it seems that you are correct in that the front end of the 8590A does not support 11GHz which is why we use that block downconverter 08590-60081. This option added that downconverter as well as a downloadable program (abbreviated DLP in these types of documents) which supported the hardware.
Hope this helps.
