HP8560A Gain abnormally high fault - Any ideas please ?
After a long wet day out in the field, my HP8560A has started giving
all readouts 16 dB high. With the input reference at -10 dBm, the display says +6 dBm. Switching the attenuator makes no difference. The very low level internal noise floor (atn=0) is also showing 16 dB high but if I input known very low level signals there appears to have been no increase in the true internal noise floor. C/N for very low level carriers measure as normal. It is the display position and readout values on the screen scale that are all too high. The RL offset is zero dB. Other old faults are non-functional up/down step buttons and intermittent 0 buttons. Any ideas welcome. Best regards, Eric |
