I know, I spent my last several years at HP as senior design engineer in the spectrum analyser division. Designing one is an interesting juggling act making sure you don't spoil any of a very wide variety of uses. Chunks of them also got used in things like the Noise Figure Analyser as well as custom receivers for spooks and military.
