The HP 8554B RF Section is used with the HP 141T Display Section and the HP 8552B IF Section to make a Spectrum Analyser. It cost $4,025 in 1980. I have downloaded the Manual. The 8554B will operate over a bandwidth of 100kHz to 1,250MHz which covers the VHF and UHF bands.
Front view
The RF Input N-type connector has a maximum input level of +10dBm 10mW at
50Ω with ±50Vdc. If not used, the first and third local oscillator outputs should be terminated in 50Ω.
