The '''Tektronix 491''' is a spectrum analyzer with a frequency range of 10 MHz to 12.4 GHz (up to 40 GHz with external waveguide mixers).
The 491 was [[introduced in 1966|introduced in August 1966]].  Due to severe performance limitations, the 491 was replaced by the completely redesigned [[492]] in 1980.


NOTE: Due to severe performance limitations, it was replaced by the completely redesigned 492 in 1980
---------------------------------------------------------
The '''Tektronix 491''' is a spectrum analyzer with a frequency range of 10 MHz to 40 GHz.  The minimum resolution bandwidth is 1 kHz, and provides measurement resolution proportional to the frequency accuracy or span. 
Front panel inputs/outputs are: RF INPUT (A) [[BNC connector]] (50Ω, 10 MHz to 275 MHz); RF INPUT (B) [[N connector]] (50Ω, 275 MHz to 2 GHz); WAVEGUIDE (C) [[N connector]] (50Ω, 12.4 GHz to 40 GHz); and a dual function 1 MHz MARKERS OUT [[BNC connector]] (With the INT REF FREQ in the ON position a 1 MHz marker outputs to this connector.  With the INT REF FREQ in the OFF position EXT REF FREQ IN “same” [[BNC connector]] accepts an external signal between 1 MHz and 5 MHz (1 to 5 V peak to peak) applied to the connector becomes the reference frequency for the phase lock operation).
Rear panel inputs/outputs are: TRIG IN [[BNC connector]] (20 Hz to 100 kHz, ≥0.2V); SAW OUT [[BNC connector]] (75mV/div); and RECORDER [[BNC connector]] (≥4 mV/div of displayed signal in LIN mode, DC-coupled, into 600Ω load impedance).
