You will find a two-part serial number on the rear panel of the instrument. The first four digits and the  
letter are the serial number prefix. The last five digits are the sequential suffix which is unique to each  
test set. The contents of this manual apply directly to test sets with the same serial number prefix as the  
one(s) on the title page under the heading Serial Numbers.  
If the serial prefix of your test set is not listed on the title page, your instrument differs from those  
documented in this manual. The differences are documented in the yellow manual changes supplement  
supplied with the manual.  
To keep this manual as current and accurate as possible, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you  
periodically request the latest manual changes supplement, as it may contain replacement information  
as well as change information. The supplement for this manual is keyed to the manual’s print date and  
part number (on the title page) and is available on request from Hewlett-Packard.  
You can order this manual in microfiche form (the part number appears on the title page). With the  
manual (in 4 x 6 inch microfilm transparency format) you will also receive the latest manual changes  
supplement.  
The combination of the HP 8514B test set with the HP8510 network analyzer and source provides a  
system for making S-parameter measurements over the frequency range of 45 MHz to 20  
This  
system is suited for making measurements on two port devices when it is inconvenient or inexpedient  
to physically reverse the DUT (device under test) to measure all four S-parameters.  
The  
uses two couplers for signal separation. For measurements of active devices, the  
standard HP 8514B includes:  
l
l
four RF to IF converters to measure all four S-parameters without reconnecting the DUT,  
two 90 programmable step attenuators for changing (in 10 steps) the incident power  
level at both ports,  
two bias tees for applying external dc bias to both test port center conductors.

This option adds IF switching capability to allow up to four test sets to be connected to the HP8510B at  
the same time. The test set in use is selected from the HP85108 front panel. The 20 MHz IF signal is  
transmitted from the standard test set through the option 001 test set(s) to the network analyzer. IF  
switching is performed automatically by the option 001 test set(s), without reconnections.  
This option deletes the 90

programmable step attenuators and the dc bias tees. Note that bias can  
bias tee, if bias is required but attenuation not.  
This high forward dynamic range configuration is described in detail in this section under the title  
Description and Operating Characteristics of the Instrument.  
This option is a combination of option 002 and option 003, which were previously described.

Section 2. Installation  
This section explains how to install the HP 8514B and  
test sets. The topics covered include  
initial inspection, environmental considerations, positioning and connecting the test set for use, and  
packaging the instrument. Refer to the Installation section of the HP8510 manual for more complete  
system connection and turn-on instructions.  
Inspect the shipping container (including cushioning material) for damage. If it is damaged, keep it until  
you have checked the contents for completeness. The contents are listed and illustrated in Figure 2-l.  
In addition, check the test set mechanically and electrically. If the test set and shipping container are  
undamaged, passing the Operator’s Check (in the Operation section) should suffice for incoming  
inspection. If the test set does not pass the Operator’s Check, refer to the troubleshooting procedures  
in the service portion of this manual. Alternatively, call your local HP customer engineer.  
If the shipping container is damaged, perform the performance tests outlined in the HP8510 manual  
set. If the test set fails the performance tests, or is damaged or defective, keep the shipping materials  
and notify both the carrier and the nearest Hewlett-Packard office. The HP office will arrange for repair  
or replacement of the test set without waiting for settlement of the claim. If any of the following  
accessories are not received with the test set, notify your nearest HP office and the missing parts will be  
sent to you.  
To perform within specifications, the test sets should be operated in temperatures between 0°C and  
with relative humidity less than 95% (at 40°C dry bulb temperature, maximum). They may be  
operated at altitudes up to 4,500 metres (15,000 feet).  
The test sets may be stored in temperatures from -40°C to  
with relative humidity up to 90% at  
(maximum dry bulb temperature) and at altitudes up to 15,240 metres (50,000 feet).  
Typically the test set is placed on a work surface whether it is rack-mounted or used on a bench. To  
install the flanges to rack mount the instrument (with or without handles) in a standard 19 inch rack, refer  
to Figure 2-2.

When installing the test set for use on a bench, place it on a grounded anti-static work surface (Figure  
2-3) to lessen the chance of ESD damage. The anti-static surface should extend far enough in front of  
the test set to provide effective protection at the test ports and cable ends.  
If your test set is equipped with a grounding receptical, you may use that in place of a static mat.

Signal Path Connections. The IF signals from the test set are transmitted to the HP 85102 IF Detector  
by the test set IF interconnect cable (see above).  
RF signals are transmitted from the source to the test set by the 3.5 mm flexible RF cable supplied with  
the test set. Recommended torque is 56 N-cm  
for the RF cable-to-test-set/RF input connection.  
Anti-Rotation Clamps. only) Use these clamps to stabilize the test port/RF cable connec-  
tion. Connect the test port cables to the test ports and tighten them as specified in the cable manual.  
Loosen the anti-rotation clamp thumb screw sufficiently to slip the clamp over the cable and up to the  
front panel. The clamp end with the flats should come to rest on the flats of the test port shoulder. Finger  
tighten the thumb screws to prevent further loosening or tightening of the test port/RF cable connec-  
tion.  
The internal O-ring is field replaceable without disassembling the anti-rotation clamp. Pry it out with fine  
tweezers or a similar tool when it no longer holds the RF cable securely. Insert the new O-ring by  
engaging one side of it in the slot of the phenolic clamp donut. Use your fingers to push the O-ring into  
the rest of the slot.  
The HP part number of the O-ring is 0900-0007 (CD 7).  
If reshipping is required, each test set should be repackaged in the original factory package. Con-  
tainers and materials identical to those used by the factory are available through Hewlett-Packard  
offices.  
Alternatively, comparable packaging materials may be used. Wrap the test set in heavy paper or anti-  
static plastic. If shipping to an HP Office or Service Center, complete and attach a service tag (in the  
HP 8510 manual set). Use sufficient shock absorbing material on all sides of the test set to provide a  
thick, firm cushion and prevent movement. Seal the shipping container securely and mark it FRAGILE.  
In any correspondence with HP, refer to the test set by full model and serial number.

Option 001 for the HP 851X-series test sets allows an HP 8510 to alternately control up to four test sets.  
While a measurement is proceeding on Test Set number 1, which is equipped with option 001, test  
device hookup can be accomplished on Test Set number 2, which does not need to be equipped with  
option 001, unless another test set is to be connected. When the measurement on test set number 1 is  
complete, then the HP 8510 can control test set number 2. Only one HP 8516A test set may be used in a  
multiple test set configuration.  
In a standard test set, the 20 MHz IF and control signals are applied directly to  
INTERCONNECT, which connects to the HP 8510. Option 001 adds a set of IF switches, control  
switches, and the TEST SET INTERCONNECT connector. This allows the selection of 20 MHz test  
set IF signals. As shown in Figure 3-5, test set number 1 can apply its IF to the HP 8510 or it can switch to  
pass the IF from test set number 2 through the TEST SET INTERCONNECT to the HP 8510.  
TEST SET  
Set each test set rear panel address switch to the address listed in Figure 3-5, if using a two test set  
configuration and Figure 3-6, if configuring more than two test sets. Use the supplied Test Set  
Interconnect cable to connect test set number 1,  
Interconnect cable to connect test set number 2,  
to the HP 8510. Use the supplied Test Set  
to test set number 1, You may continue this  
test set “daisy chain” to include up to four test sets if the total length of all Test Set Interconnect cables  
does not exceed 13 meters (about 40 feet). The last test set in the chain does not require option 001.  
If the RF coaxial switch(s) is not incorporated into the system, then the RF input to the test set must be  
manually switched to the active test set.  
Upon power-up, the IF switches must be configured so that only one system test set is active. The  
following procedure shows how to make one test set active.  
1. Check the active lights of all system test sets.  
2. Check the HP 8510’s expected test set address by pressing [LOCAL] [TEST SET]. This should  
match the address of the desired test set. If not, change the address.  
3. If unselected test sets are active, (active light ON), deactivate the test set by temporarily addressing  
it. Then return to the desired address.

Test Set IF Switching.  
The active test set is selected by the built-in capability of the HP 8510 to  
generate an addressed command to the test set. Each time the HP 8510 ADDRESS of TEST SET  
function is changed (see HP 8510 LOCAL Menu), the HP 8510 switches the previously addressed test  
set IF to external and the newly addressed test set IF to internal. The test set front panel ACTIVE  
indicator shows the test set status. When the test set is active the IF signals from the test set are applied  
directly to  
TEST SET INTERCONNECT. When the test set is inactive the IF signals appearing at  
are passed through to  
and on to the next test set or the HP 8510.  
The address of the test set can be changed manually from the HP 8510 front panel by selecting the  
ADDRESS of TEST SET function then entering the address of the test set and pressing [xl], or it can be  
changed under program control using the HP 8510 HP-IB ADDRTESS; command. The HP-IB address  
of a particular test set is set by address switches on the test set rear panel.  
A related feature of the HP 8510 is that when the HP 8510 ADDRESS of  
RF Switch Driver Commands.  
TEST SET function is changed, a code sequence is automatically issued over the HP 8510 system bus  
to the device at the ADDRESS of RF SWITCH. In the recommended configuration, this device is an HP  
11713A Attenuator/Switch Driver which in turn controls one or more HP 33311C Coaxial  
As  
shown in Figures 3-5 and 3-6, these switches are used to select which of the test sets receive the RF  
output of the network analyzer source. The exact command issued depends upon the new value of the  
ADDRESS of TEST SET function, also shown in Figures 3-5 and 3-6.  
After selecting the active test set, perform the system calibration procedure as usual. When you select  
a different test set, make sure that you recall the Cal Set that applies to that test set.  
Since the Cal Set Limited Instrument State does not include the number of the active test set, a Cal Set  
which does not apply to the current test set can be turned on without any HP 8510 caution messages  
appearing. This will cause errors in the displayed data because incorrect error coefficients are applied  
to the measured data.  
It may be convenient to store a Hardware State file and an Instrument State file for each combination of  
test set and cal set. You may also store your Hardware State file on a tape or disc for future use. To  
change the configuration, simply recall the appropriate Hardware State file, which sets the Address of  
Test Set and issues the RF switch command, then the appropriate Instrument State file, which recalls  
the Cal Set.  
To check operation of a multiple test set configuration, first connect a device with a known response at  
test set number 1, then press HP 8510 [LOCAL] [TEST SET], [ADDRESS of TEST  
enter the  
address of test set number 1 (this would be then press [xl]. The test set number 1 measurement  
should appear. Press [DISPLAY] [DATA--MEMORY] [DISPLAY: DATA and MEMORY] to store the  
trace for later comparison. Now use ADDRESS of TEST SET to select test set number 2, then switch  
back to test set number 1. Observe any difference in the response between the stored trace and the  
result after switching back and forth between the test sets. Repeat for each of the test sets. Any  
difference in the data believed due to the option 001 IF switch or RF switching must be investigated.  
Standard System Performance Verification procedures are used to verify the operation of the option  
001 test set as test set number 1. To verify the performance of another test set in the chain, select it as  
the active test set and proceed as usual.

The HP 08515-60003 Anti-Rotation Clamps are used to secure the RF connections at the test ports of  
several Hewlett-Packard test sets. When installed, each clamp holds the large nut that secures the test  
set RF port connector to the front panel, and the RF cable connector or the front panel adapter mated  
with the port connector.  
Without the clamps, the test port connections may become loose after moving the connected device  
and could invalidate calibrations and measurements.  
Although the anti-rotation clamps may be used with front panel adapters, these instructions  
NOTE:  
refer to an installation using the HP RF Cables. Adapter installations will be similar.  
1. Two anti-rotation clamps are included in the test set accessories box. Remove one from the box  
and loosen the thumbscrew until it is almost out of the counter-bored hole in the clamp body.  
Gently push the clamp (round-hole end first) over and past the RF cable connector you will connect  
to the test set RF port. The rubber O-ring in the round end of the clamp will fit tightly over the  
connector. Wiggle the clamp if necessary to get it over the connector.  
Connect the cable to the test port and tighten as specified in the cable manual. Make sure that you  
do not twist the cable as you attach it to the test port. Use the torque wrench supplied with your  
calibration kit to tighten the cable to no more than 90 N-cm (8 in.-lb.).  
2. Important! The test set RF connector is easily loosened so hold the RF cable throughout the rest of  
this procedure. Do not allow the cable to rotate.  
3. See Figure 3-7. Turn the clamp so that the thumbscrew is pointing up. From there, turn the clamp to  
visually align the clamp flats with the flats on the test port connector nut. This will minimize rotating  
the connector in the next step.  
The flats may be in any orientation in respect to the front panel.

Test Sets  
4. See Figure 3-8. Hold the cable with one hand and with the other, press the clamp gently and steadily  
while wiggling the clamp straight over the RF connector and onto the test port connector nut. The  
internal flats in the clamp must fit over the flats on the test port connector nut. Try not to rotate the  
clamp as you do this or the RF connection may be loosened.  
Mating the Clomp and Nut Flats  
Figure 3-8.  
5. See Figure 3-9. Make sure that the thumbscrew is aligned with the counter-sunk hole in the clamp  
body. Push the clamp toward the test set front panel and then tighten the thumbscrew with your  
fingers. The cable cannot be damaged by tightening the thumbscrew too tightly.

The processor on the A4 HP-IB assembly monitors the test set temperature with a comparator on the  
A3 summing amplifier. The temperature sensor is located on the Al4 VTO/driver assembly. If the  
temperature of the VTO/driver exceeds 85°C the HP 85101 displays the “Test Set Too Hot” prompt.  
TEST SET TOO HOT means turn off the test set immediately. This mes-  
sage is only a prompt. It does not turn off the test set.  
Determine the reason for the prompt before again subjecting the test set to continuous use. Make sure  
the fan is operating properly and is not covered by a piece of paper, etc. Make sure the fan and the side  
panel air exhaust has at least 8 cm (about 3 inches) clearance, and top cover exhaust has at least 1.5 cm  
(about 0.5 inches) clearance.

Time domain response of the test set can be used to identify problems in the RF path. The plots below  
show typical time domain responses of the HP and 8515A test sets. These can  
be used as rough standards when trying to locate a problem in the RF path. Keep in mind that the  
absolute location in time and absolute height of the responses will vary from test set to test set. The  
significant factor is the relative height of the main impulse (determined by the calibrated short) and the  
discontinuities. Discontinuities that may be causing a problem will usually stand out as being much  
greater than the typical response.

Test Set Troubleshooting  
This procedure allows you to check the output power level of each test set sampler/mixer assembly  
and its associated IF amplifier alone. The normal power level display, for example, is a ratio (in this  
case, The network analyzer automatically powers and phase-locks a predefined port or ports to  
make the measurement selected.  
measurements provide useful data but they can mask certain malfunctions. Assume, for  
example, the task is to measure an S-parameter at a specific power level. If the test set has a 20  
power hole due to a faulty RF input connector, that deficiency would be invisible  
out) in a  
measurement. But the data would be incorrect; it would not have been taken at the specified power  
level.  
Similarly, troubleshooting system faults in a  
measurement mode can be deceptive. The solution  
is to check each channel singly, to check the power in an unratioed mode. To do so requires specifying  
which port to drive power to and which channel to achieve phase lock with. The following procedures  
include steps to redefine parameters as required.  
Figures 5-13 through 5-18 show which assemblies are parts of the signal path of each channel.  
Realizing that some assemblies are common to two, or all four, channels is a powerful troubleshooting  
tool. Figures 5-11 and 5-13 through 5-18, following these procedures, show typical traces.

Test Set Troubleshooting  
One or more user channels appear faulty. The question is, what is at fault?, the source or test set or IF/  
detector (HP 85102). The service adapter is a source/test set emulator. It provides the same 20 MHz  
signal to the HP 85102B as the test set and source. Thus it indicates whether the problem is in the IF/  
detector.

1. Connect the HP 851026 service adapter to the HP 85102B rear panel “20 MHz OUT” connector and  
the IF-DISPLAY INTERCONNECT” connector.  
2. Press [PRESET] [MARKER] STIMULUS [MENU] [STEP] PARAMETER [MENU] and each User  
to observe the unratioed power level of the User1 through User4 channels. The traces  
should be flat lines, quite close to each other, as indicated by the marker value (typically about  
l
l
If all of the channels look good (with the service adapter) and all looked bad in the unratioed power  
test, the HP85101 and 85102 are working. The problem is probably source related. Refer to the  
Source Tests and Service Program sections of the Service Manual to continue troubleshooting the  
problem.  
If all four User channels look bad (with the service adapter), suspect the 20 MHz signal from the A6  
clock board assembly. Refer to the paragraph titled HP85702 IF/Detector Tests in the Service  
Program section to verify the 20 MHz output.  
If one or more (but not all) channels look bad, troubleshoot the HP 85102 by refering to the Service  
Program and Block Diagrams sections of the Service Manual. Then recheck the unratioed channel  
power levels.  
Single channel problems suggest the IF Mixer board corresponding to the User function (channel  
al,  
al, or a2) is faulty. Refer to the Overall System Block diagram located in the Block Diagrams  
section of the Service Manual.  
Multiple channel problems indicate the problem is most likely in the circuitry after the IF Mixer  
boards (for example, the IF amplifiers or synchronous detectors). Refer to the HP  
Overall  
Block Diagram in the Block Diagrams section of the Service Manual.  
Determine whether the failure is in the reference path or the test path.  
Test the suspect board(s) using the procedures provided in the Service Program section.  
Check the IF Amplifiers and Synchronous Detectors by swapping the reference and test board  
assemblies (since they are identical) and seeing if the problem moves.

Section 6. Replaceable Parts  
This section contains information for ordering parts. Exchange Assemblies Available describes how to  
order assemblies which are available on an exchange basis. Table 6-1 is a list of manufacturers (by  
code number) and reference designations.  
HP8514B replaceable parts are identified by Table 6-2 and Figures 6-l through 6-7.  
replaceable parts are identified by Table 6-3 and Figures 6-3, 6-4 and 6-8 through 6-10.  
The items below are replaceable on a rebuilt exchange basis at a cost saving. They are not  
repairable. Defective assemblies must be returned for credit to realize the cost savings. Thus,  
assemblies required for spare parts stock should be ordered by the new assembly part number which  
is included in the replaceable parts list of this section. See the parts list for the orderable part numbers.

The replaceable parts lists consist of illustrations and tables. Use the illustrations to identify the part to  
be ordered; use the tables to determine the ordering information. Each table is arranged in  
numerical order by reference designator. The reference designator keys the part listed to the illustra-  
tion. The first part number listed is HP’s part number and may differ from the manufacturer’s part  
number. The check digit serves as an error check of the part number and should be used when ordering  
a part. Quantity refers to the total number of that part in the instrument. The description is a brief written  
description of the part and may be used for ordering purposes. Manufacturers code is a five digit  
number assigned to each manufacturer (identified in Table 6-l). The manufacturer part number may or  
may not be the same as the HP part number.

Section 8. Performance Tests  
Performance test information and procedures are located in the Performance Tests section of the  
HP8510B System Manual and volume 2 of the  
manual set. Note that the HP85108 performance  
test software (supplied with the System Manual) is required to test the HP85148 up to 20  
Performance Tests

Section 9. Adiustments  
The HP8514B and  
have one adjustment only, the sampler assembly adjustment. The  
procedure is documented in the  
Service Manual in the section titled Adjustments. It is also in  
the Test Set Adjustments section in volume 2 of the HP 8510A manual set. The adjustment is  
guided.  
This adjustment should be performed only if the need to do so is firmly established. A poor adjustment  
is worse than none at all. Thus the software driven adjustment procedure begins with a check of the  
sampler in question to establish the need.  
Do not perform the actual adjustment if the sampler passes the check.
