Plug-in Modules

HP 54753A and HP 54754A Plug-in Modules

The HP 54753A and 54754A TDR plug-in modules provide you with TDR

and TDT measurement features. In addition to the TDR and TDT

measurement features, the TDR plug-ins provide two accurate

oscilloscope measurement channels with user selectable bandwidths of

12.4 or 18 GHz. The lower bandwidth mode provides excellent

oscilloscope noise performance for accurate measurement of small

signals. The high bandwidth mode provides high-fidelity display and

measurement of very high-speed waveforms.

The HP 54753A TDR plug-in module provides:

• Automatic and manual single-ended TDR and TDT measurement

capability

• Automatic and manual waveform, histogram, FFT, waveform math,

eye pattern measurements, statistical measurements, and limit

testing capabilities.

• User selectable 12.4 or 18 GHz bandwidth (Channel 1).

• User selectable 12.4 or 20 GHz bandwidth (Channel 2).

• 2.5 GHz bandwidth trigger channel.

• 3.5 mm (m) connectors.

The HP 54754A TDR plug-in module provides:

• Automatic and manual single-ended and differential TDR and TDT

measurement capability.

• Automatic and manual waveform, histogram, FFT, waveform math,

eye pattern measurements, statistical measurements, and limit

testing capabilities.

• User selectable 12.4 or 18 GHz bandwidth.

• 2.5 GHz bandwidth trigger channel.

• 3.5 mm (m) connectors.

The Operating the Instrument

CAUTION The input circuits canbe damaged byelectrostatic discharge (ESD). Therefore,

avoid applying static discharges to the front-panel input connectors. Before

connecting any coaxial cable to the connectors, momentarily short the center

and outer conductors of the cable together. Avoid touching the front-panel

input connectors without first touching the frame of the instrument. Be sure

the instrument is properly earth-grounded to prevent buildup of static charge.

What you’ll find in this chapter

This chapter describes:

• the key conventions used in this manual

• the front panel, rear panel and keys that do

not

display menus on the screen

Understanding the information in this chapter will help you successfully operate

the instrument.
