Description
HP Hewlett Packard 788C Directional Detector 3.7-8.3 GHz RF Microwave Signal
The HP 788C is a directional detector used for RF signal sampling and microwave power monitoring across the C and S band frequency ranges. This handheld or inline component measures and detects microwave signals in systems requiring precise power level assessment.
Specifications & What's Included
- Frequency Range: 3.7–8.3 GHz (C-Band / S-Band)
- Connector Type: Type N male input with APC-7 precision coaxial ports
- Form Factor: Handheld / Inline microwave component
- Country of Manufacture: United States
- Unit only; no accessories included
Applications
The 788C directional detector was used in microwave test and measurement setups, telecommunications infrastructure, and RF laboratory environments where signal power monitoring and directional detection were required. These components remain common in legacy microwave systems, satellite communications equipment, and bench testing applications. The Type N and APC-7 connectors provide compatibility with standard microwave test equipment and transmission line systems operating in the 3.7–8.3 GHz band.
This HP Hewlett-Packard 788C Directional Detector was pulled from a working environment where it was in active use. It has been inspected and is in good condition. The metal body shows age-appropriate wear — the label on the top plate has significant paint loss and the housing shows scuffs and surface wear consistent with field or bench use — but the coaxial connectors appear intact with no visible damage to the center pins or threads.
