Period

This unit was used in the 1980s.

Canada

Equipment used by Industry Canada's Spectrum Management & Telecommunications Sectors and its predecessor in the Department of Communications (D.O.C.). This sector facilitates access to the radio frequency spectrum by appointing authorities for its use; by testing and certifying radio and telecommunications terminal equipment and developing related procedures; and by securing Canada's access to it through the preparation and implementation of standards. [Ref. 1]

Function

Used for measuring radio frequency, signal intensity and frequency. When used with a calibrated antenna, a spectrum analyzer is also capable of measuring power density

Technical

This spectrum analyzer can make frequency domain measurements from 20 Hz to 40 GHz with the proper high-performance plug-ins. This Spectrum Analyzer has 2 plug-ins: a 8552B IF Section, and a 8554B RF Tuning Section. The 8554B RF Tuning Section covers a frequency range, of 500 kHz to 1250 MHz, convenient for equipment design or spectrum surveillance. This allows for the analysis of signals from baseband through UHF navigation bands. It is typically used to measure the power and frequency of modulation, distortion, and spurious outputs. It takes frequency response measurements of filters, amplifiers, modulators, and mixers as well. Also, when used with a calibrated antenna, the RF section is capable of measuring noise and power density. The 8552B IF Section serves to condition the measurement signal received by the RF Tuning Section for proper display on the CRT. [Ref. 1]
