Supplemental Characteristics
Leakage: At signal generator output frequency and

level <-40 dBm, typical HP 8920B leakage is <1.0 mV
(2.0 mV for HP 8920B Option 500 or 800) induced in
a resonant dipole antenna one inch from any surface
except the rear panel. Spurious leakage levels are
typically <1 mV in a resonant dipole antenna.
