8753ES Speciﬁcations and Characteristics

Deﬁnitions

All speciﬁcations and characteristics apply over a 25 °C ±5 °C range (unless otherwise stated) and 1/2 hour after the instrument has been turned on.

Speciﬁcation (spec.): Warranted performance. Speciﬁcations include guardbands to

account for the expected statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to environmental conditions.

Characteristic (char.): A performance parameter that the product is expected to meet

before it leaves the factory, but that is not veriﬁed in the ﬁeld and is not covered by the product warranty. A characteristic includes the same guardbands as a speciﬁcation.

Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average unit which does not include

guardbands. It is not covered by the product warranty.

Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance. It

is not covered by the product warranty.

Calibration: The process of measuring known standards from a calibration kit to

characterize a network analyzer’s systematic (repeatable) errors.

Corrected (residual) Performance: Indicates performance after error correction

(calibration). It is determined by the quality of calibration standards and how well “known” they are, plus system repeatability, stability, and noise.

Uncorrected (raw) Performance: Indicates instrument performance without error

correction. The uncorrected performance affects the stability of a calibration.

Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes all options unless noted otherwise.

a. Group delay is computed by measuring the phase change within a speciﬁed frequency

step (determined by the frequency span and the number of points per sweep.

b. Relative phase accuracy is an unspeciﬁed parameter. For very narrow apertures with

short devices under test RF systematic error terms can be assumed constant. As aperture and/or device electrical length increase RF systematic errors become increasingly important, eventually relative phase accuracy is the same as absolute phase accuracy.

8753ET Speciﬁcations and Characteristics

Deﬁnitions

All speciﬁcations and characteristics apply over a 25 °C ±5 °C range (unless otherwise stated) and 1/2 hour after the instrument has been turned on.

Speciﬁcation (spec.): Warranted performance. Speciﬁcations include guardbands to

account for the expected statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to environmental conditions.

Characteristic (char.): A performance parameter that the product is expected to meet

before it leaves the factory, but that is not veriﬁed in the ﬁeld and is not covered by the product warranty. A characteristic includes the same guardbands as a speciﬁcation.

Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average unit which does not include

guardbands. It is not covered by the product warranty.

Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance. It

is not covered by the product warranty.

Calibration: The process of measuring known standards from a calibration kit to

characterize a network analyzer’s systematic (repeatable) errors.

Corrected (residual) Performance: Indicates performance after error correction

(calibration). It is determined by the quality of calibration standards and how well “known” they are, plus system repeatability, stability, and noise.

Uncorrected (raw) Performance: Indicates instrument performance without error

correction. The uncorrected performance affects the stability of a calibration.

Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes all options unless noted otherwise.

8. ACTIVE CHANNEL keys. The analyzer has two independent primary channels and two auxiliary channels. These keys allow you to select the active channel. Any function you enter applies to the selected channel.

9. The ENTRY block. This block includes the knob, the step keys, the number pad, and the backspace key. These allow you to enter numerical data and control the markers.

You can use the numeric keypad to select digits, decimal points, and a minus sign for numerical entries. You must also select a units terminator to complete value inputs.

The backspace key has two independent functions: it modiﬁes entries, and it turns off the softkey menu so that marker information can be moved off of the grids and into the softkey menu area. For more details, refer to the “Making Measurements” chapter in the user’s guide.

10. INSTRUMENT STATE function block. These keys allow you to control channel-independent system functions such as the following:

• copying, save/recall, and GPIB controller mode

• limit testing

• external source mode

• tuned receiver mode

• frequency offset mode

• test sequence function

• harmonic measurements (Option 002)

• time domain transform (Option 010) GPIB STATUS indicators are also included in this block.

9. 10 MHZ REFERENCE ADJUST. (Option 1D5)

10. EXTERNAL REFERENCE INPUT connector. This allows for a

frequency reference signal input that can phase lock the analyzer to an external frequency standard for increased frequency accuracy.

The analyzer automatically enables the external frequency reference feature when a signal is connected to this input. When the signal is removed, the analyzer automatically switches back to its internal frequency reference.

11. AUXILIARY INPUT connector. This allows for a dc or ac voltage input from an external signal source, such as a detector or function generator, which you can then measure, using the S-parameter menu. (You can also use this connector as an analog output in service routines, as described in the service guide.)

12. EXTERNAL AM connector. This allows for an external analog signal input that is applied to the ALC circuitry of the analyzer's source. This input analog signal amplitude modulates the RF output signal.

13. EXTERNAL TRIGGER connector. This allows connection of an external negative-going TTL-compatible signal that will trigger a measurement sweep. The trigger can be set to external through softkey functions.

14. TEST SEQUENCE. This outputs a TTL signal that can be programmed in a test sequence to be high or low, or pulse (10 µseconds) high or low at the end of a sweep for robotic part handler interface.

15. LIMIT TEST. This outputs a TTL signal of the limit test results as follows:

• Pass: TTL high

• Fail: TTL low
