The option 009 allows connecting an external tracking generator on the spectrum.
I think that I can convert my HP8593E with option 009 myself because there is no board to add; just adding cable and connector to the back. I wish if someone could tell me where to find the description of that option with drawing...
Then I will looking to buy a tracking generator or a HP8350B sweeper (with module 592).
Thank you in advance

The part #'s for the 2 cables that you requested:

5062-7710     W42 cable L.O. output
8120-5401     W48 cable Sweep + Tune output

link to the service for the 8590x series (674 pages I wouldn't try to print it).    http://www.home.agilent.com/upload/cmc_ ... -90316.pdf

There's a block diagram that shows the connections, also parts listngs and all kinds of service info. Hope this gets you a little farther.

Thank you for the information.

I am looking to buy an HP85645A tracking generator to hookup to my HP8593E. My spectrum is a 22 GHz and the tracking is a 26 GHz. Is it compatible? Is the tracking will work to 22 GHz?

The HP8350B + the module 592A suppose to be compatible as a tracking with the 8593E and it look much cheaper...is someone have tried this sweeper as tracking generator?

Thank you again!

The 85645A is compatible with the 8566/856xA/B/E/EC and 8590 series with option 009, 8340 series and the 8350 series. The latter two for dual RF sweeping capability. You do not need a 8350 series system if you have this unit.

The HP 8350 series with plug in will not work without a phase lock sychronizer 8709A/H10 for the 8566 series. If you have a HP 8565A or HP 8569A/B it will not work either.

..If I understand well and if I decide to buy 8350B +592A plug-in with my HP8593E: I just need the option 009 (no need for phase lock synchronizer)...Is that right?

Thank you

You will need some the synchronizer to have the 8350 work with the 8593E. What it does is synchronize the YO Tracking. You will also need to configure a fixture to work with the synchronizer to adjust the start and stop of the sweep bands to get it to work. There may some issue as to the frequency bands for the plug in and the spectrum analyzer have some overlap and my be an issue.
