IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument Identification.
This bulletin provides instructions for the
calibration of Spectrum Analyzer, Hewlett-Packard, Model 8566B. The manufacturer's
manual was used as the prime data source in compiling these instructions. The equipment
being calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test instrument) throughout this bulletin.
a. Model Variations. None that affect calibration.
b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 16
hours, using the dc and low frequency and microwave technique.
2. Forms, Records, and Reports
a. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration personnel at all levels are
prescribed by TB 750-25.
b. Adjustments to be reported are designated (R) at the end of the sentence in which
they appear. When adjustments are in tables, the (R) follows the designated adjustment.
Report only those adjustments made and designated with (R)
3. Calibration Description. TI parameters and performance specifications which
pertain to this calibration are listed in table 1.
