High power, high performance, straddle band frequency coverage from 2-8.4 GHz is provided by the HP 83540 plug-ins. The frequency outputs are accurate to within ± 15 MHz. The output power is leveled at a minimum of +16 dB from the HP 83540A and +13 dBm from the HP 83540B with variations less than ± 1 dB. The calibrated power output range is 15 dB which may be extended to > 80 dB with Option 002 (70 dB step attenuator). The HP 83540B provides the additional performance of 45 dBc harmonics for extended dynamic range in precision RF scalar measurement systems.

For sale is a military surplus HP 83540A plugin. Looks very clean. The military gave it condition code F7, which is "obsolete". It has calibration valid through 2006, so it is currently calibrated to highest military standards. I cannot test this unit, but I will give you a :SATISFACTION: Serial number 2338A00394.
