7L13

The Tektronix 7L13 is a 1 kHz to 1.8 GHz Spectrum Analyzer plug-in for 7000-series scopes. It is similar to the 7L12 but occupies three module bays, adds a marker function, resolution bandwidth down to 30 Hz, and 10 dB better sensitivity. It also displays the center frequency in the CRT readout as well as on a LED display.

The TR502 tracking generator is designed to work with the 7L13 up to 1.8 GHz.
