Spectrum Analyzer Repair

Can anyone recommend a repair lab for agilent spectrum analyzers. Specifically, the GPIB interface needs repairing or replacing. Thanks John Harrington EMC Technical Manager F-Squared Laboratories Phone: 440 834 8926 ext 203 Fax: 440 834 8914 Cell: 440 832 0558 This message is from the IEEE

That actually works. Just zap the inside of your arm and measure the welt. -Original Message- From: drcuthb...@micron.com [mailto:drcuthb...@micron.com] Sent: Thu 4/22/2004 11:18 AM To: ian.gor...@bocedwards.com; kevinharr...@dsc.com Cc:

RE: ESD Gun Verification between calibrations

I often test 9 volt batteries with my tongue. A similar technique can be used to test the ESD gun. Just discharge it to your arm and gage the performance by how it feels. Just kidding, sort of. Dave Cuthbert From: owner-emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org [mailto:owner-emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org]

Re: Calculating/predicting Quasi-peak of a single pulse

John- The general transfer function for a mass-spring-damp (as the mechanical meter) (or R-L-C) is of the form: (s + 2dw)/(s^2 + 2dws + w^2) where w = natural frequency of system and d = damping ratio (dimensionless) For critical damping as per the USA definition, d = 1, and there are

Re: ESD Gun Verification between calibrations

Kevin: There is a presentation regarding ESD on the RAFT website, it may be of some help as it does talk about calibration. It is titled ESD Today www.raft-global.org Regards: Kevin Keegan Senior Associate KES Associates 1 Stonecroft Terrace Kanata, Ontario Canada K2K 2V1 Tel: 613-592-0820

RE: ESD Gun Verification between calibrations

Kevin You are only verifying that the equipment is working so there is no need to check absolute levels or waveforms etc, that is the function of the calibration. Our EMC lab has been assessed to ISO 17025 by TUV International and they are satisfied with the following procedure which is
