The '''Tektronix 494''' is a spectrum analyzer with a frequency range of 10 kHz to 21 GHz in coax, and up to 325 GHz with external waveguide mixers. The '''P''' suffix designation indicates GPIB '''P'''rogrammability. The minimum resolution bandwidth is 30 Hz, and provides measurement resolution proportional to the frequency accuracy or span.
 
In 1988, the [[494A|494A /494AP]] successor model was introduced.
 
Front panel inputs/outputs are: RF INPUT 50Ω ([[N connector]]), CAL OUT ([[BNC connector]]), LO OUTPUTS ([[SMA connector|SMA connectors]]), EXTERNAL MIXER RF INPUT ([[TNC connector]]), and Camera Power. The LO outputs can be used to connect an external waveguide mixer like the [[WM490|WM490 series]], or to connect a [[TR503|TR503 tracking generator]].
Rear panel inputs/outputs are: PROBE POWER (Provides operating voltages (+5V, -15 V, +15 V; 100 mA max each) for active probes); HORIZ|TRIG (EXT IN) [[BNC connector]] (A dual function connector: When in External Triggering mode the connector is an AC coupled input for trigger signals.  When the TIME/DIV selection is EXT the connector is a DC coupled input for horizontal sweep voltages); MARKER/VIDEO (EXT IN) [[BNC connector]] (Available on instruments without Opt. 42 only.  See 110 MHz IF for Opt. 42 instruments.  This connector interfaces the spectrum analyzers with a Tektronix 1405 TV Adapter to display an externally-generated marker) 110 MHz IF (OUTPUT) [[BNC connector]] (Available on Opt. 42 utilizing the HORIZ (OUTPUT) connector.  This connector provides 110 MHz IF output with a bandwidth greater than 5 MHz.  Input external video signals into the PEN LIFT connector); HORIZ (OUTPUT) [[BNC connector]] (Supplies a 0.5 V/div horizontal signal); VERT (OUTPUT) [[BNC connector]] (Provides access to the video signal with 0.5 V for each division of displayed video above or below the center line.)
 
NOTE: Both HORIZ and VERT output signals are driven from digital storage if it is on.  Both signals are driven from the analyzer sweep and video amplifier stage if digital storage is off;
 
PEN LIFT (OUTPUT) [[BNC connector]] (Provides access to a TTL compatible signal to lift the pen of a chart recorder during sweep retrace.  This signal is always derived from the spectrum analyzer sweep.  In Opt. 42 instruments, use this connector to input external video signals if pin 1 of the ACCESSORIES connector is grounded; 10 MHz IF (OUTPUT) [[BNC connector]] (Provides access to the output of the 10 MHz IF); EXT REF IN [[BNC connector]] (A 50Ω input for a 1, 2, 5, or 10 MHz external reference signals, within -15 dBm to +15 dBm level.  Input signals must be a sinewave with a duty cycle symmetry of 40% to 60%, or ECL or TTL); J104 ACCESSORY female [[DB25 connector]] (Provides external video input selector on Pin 1 and external preselector out on Pins 2 and 3, Pin 5 is ground.); IEEE STD 488 PORT [[GPIB interface]] (Added to all "P" suffixed instruments)
