HP-8590A Attenuator Replacement Kit Maples Road Instrument Services 9107 Maples Road Fort Wayne, IN 46816 One of the most common failures of an HP 8590-series spectrum analyzer is destruction of one or more sections of the input attenuator due to excess power being applied, generally by inadvertently keying a transmitter into the input with insufficient attenuation between the transmitter and spectrum analyzer. The HP 8590A© Spectrum Analyzer uses a custom attenuator that is unavailable from either Agilent or the original manufacturer. This modification kit uses an HP OEM attenuator and an interface circuit card to replace the defective original attenuator. The old attenuator may be left in the instrument if desired. No soldering is required; the modification procedure requires dis-assembly of the HP 8590A and drilling two holes to mount the replacement attenuator assembly. New SMA RF cable assembly and attenuator control cables are included. Step by step illustrated dis-assembly and reassembly procedures are provided. A hole template to correctly locate the two added holes is included as well as the required mounting hardware. Only common hand tools are required – but are not supplied. Each modification kit will be provided with a set of test data showing the performance of the individual kit. A. This modification kit was privately developed with no assistance from HP or Agilent. It is in no way endorsed by either of these companies. Use or mention of “HP”, “Agilent” or “HP 8590A” in no way conveys any endorsement or acknowledgement of this product by the original manufacturer of the unit or by its corporate successors. B. This kit has been tested and verified as a replacement for a damaged input attenuator assembly. It has been extensively tested in four separate HP 8590A mainframes. An HP 8590A with no other defects will successfully complete its self-calibration routine with this replacement attenuator. This kit will not correct defects in the 1st Mixer caused by severe RF overload and damage to the mixer diodes or any other defects which may reside within the instrument. C. The HP OEM attenuators used in this kit are surplus commercial units. The attenuator modules are specified for 5-million operations. The attenuators appear to be new units, but I cannot guarantee that. I will warrant attenuator modules for 180 days for internal mechanical failures – NO WARRANTY FOR RF OVERLOAD!
