Data Sheet
Product Specifications
Note: All specifications apply from 10 Hz to 150 MHz and include 30 minute
warmup from ambient conditions unless otherwise noted. Supplemental
characteristics (identified as characteristic only) are non-warranted functional
and feature information.
The general specifications apply independent of the measurement type selected.
Refer to the spectrum measurements and network measurements for specifications
that are measurement-type dependent.
Frequency Specifications
FREQUENCY RANGE
Tuning range: 0 Hz to 150 MHz
Specifications for 50 and 75 Ohms apply over the frequency range of 10 Hz to 150
MHz. The 1 MegOhm input operates over the full span and is specified from 10 Hz
to 40 Mhz.
FREQUENCY ACCURACY
Frequency accuracy is specified using the frequency counter marker function and
is the sum of initial accuracy, aging, and frequency counter resolution.
Initial accuracy:
Without With
opt. 1D5 opt. 1D5**
20deg. to 30deg. C +/-0.5 ppm +/-0.01 ppm
0deg. to 55deg. C +/-3.0 ppm +/-0.07 ppm
Aging* +/-0.25 ppm/mo. +/-0.125 ppm/mo.
*Referenced to the most recent reference calibration at 23deg. C.
**Add +/-0.1ppm if the instrument has been continually powered <48 hours.
Frequency counter resolution: 0.1 Hz
STABILITY
Noise sidebands: less than -105 dBc when measured at a 1 kHz offset from CW
signal and normalized to a 1 Hz noise-power bandwidth.
DRIFT/RESIDUAL FM
The Agilent 3589A uses a fully synthesized local oscillator and is phase-locked
to the frequency reference throughout the sweep. Refer to the frequency accuracy
specifications stated earlier for the resulting accuracy.

NORMALIZATION
Normalization routines allow the single receiver channel to accurately measure
scalar network parameters when swept spectrum measurement type is selected, or
vector network parameters when swept network measurement type is selected.
Measurement normalizations require the reference measurement to be taken first,
using either quick normalization, which uses an internal source to receiver
path, or transmission normalization, which can correct for additional cable,
adapter, and fixture effects. Measurements are then referenced to that
measurement as a ratio.

Spectrum Measurements
Note: All specifications apply from 10 Hz to 150 MHz and include 30 minute
warmup from ambient conditions unless otherwise noted. Typical performance is
applicable over +/-5deg. C from the temperature during the most recent
autocalibration and is not warranted. Supplemental characteristics (identified
as characteristic only) are non-warranted functional and feature information.
All spectrum measurement specifications apply when swept spectrum or narrowband
zoom measurement type is selected and with the source turned off and lowdistortion mode off unless otherwise noted.
