About 5 Months ago I purchased an HP 8593E Spectrum Analyzer, it covers the 9kHz to 22GHz range. It compliments my other pieces of gear, an 8657B Signal Generator (100kHz to 2060MHz) and 8672A Synthesized Signal Generator (2-18GHz).
It came in beautiful condition, this one is probably going to be my primary Spectrum Analyzer, so I wanted to upgrade it to a unit with a Tracking Generator. I found an almost complete Tracking Generator Kit on Ebay, but it was missing some parts, which I was able to collect afterwards.
The Tracking Generator is installed in an empty space on the left side of the RF Front End (A3) of the Spectrum Analyzer. The Front-End does take quite a bit of effort to remove, as it is like the heart of this equipment. This Post is a WIP.
