All specifications apply over a 5°C to 40°C range (unless otherwise stated)
and 90 minutes 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.

Supplemental information is intended to provide information that is helpful
for using the instrument but that is not guaranteed by the product warranty.
This information is denoted as either typical or nominal.

Typical (typ.):

Expected performance of an average unit that does not include guardbands.
It is not guaranteed by the product warranty.

Nominal (nom.):

A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance.
It is not guaranteed by the product warranty.

The test port dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the test port rms noise floor
and the source maximum output power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement
uncertainty and interfering signals into account.

May be limited to 90 dB at particular frequencies below 350 MHz or above 4.25 GHz due to
spurious receiver residuals.

Windows®PC through LAN.

Disk drive Instrument states, calibration data, and trace data can be stored on

an internal 3.5 inch 1.4 MB floppy disk in MS-DOS ®-compatible format.

Screen hardcopy Printouts of instrument data are directly produced on a printer. The analyzer

provides USB and parallel interfaces.

Data accuracy enhancement

Measurement calibration Measurement calibration significantly reduces measurement

uncertainty due to errors caused by system directivity, source and
load match, tracking and crosstalk. Full 2-port, 3-port, or 4-port calibration
removes all the systematic errors for the related test ports to obtain
the most accurate measurements.

Calibration types available

Response Simultaneous magnitude and phase correction of frequency response

errors for either reflection or transmission measurements.

Response and isolation Compensates for frequency response and crosstalk errors of

transmission measurements.

One-port calibration Available on test set port 1, port 2, port 3, or port 4 to correct for directivity,

frequency response and source match errors.

Full 2-port/3-port/4-port calibration Compensates for directivity, source match, reflection tracking, load match,
TRL/LRM calibration transmission tracking and crosstalk. Crosstalk calibration can be omitted.

Interpolated error correction With any type of accuracy enhancement applied, interpolated mode

recalculates the error coefficients when the test frequencies are changed.
The number of points can be increased or decreased and the start/stop
frequencies can be changed.

Velocity factor Enter the velocity factor to calculate the equivalent physical length.

Reference port extension Redefine the measurement plane from the plane where the calibration

was done.

Mixer calibration

Scalar-mixer calibration Scalar-mixer calibration corrects the conversion loss for input port source match

and output port load match. Scalar-mixer calibration also corrects the input match
measurements for input port directivity, frequency response, and source match at
the input frequencies and corrects the output match measurements for output
port directivity, frequency response, and source match at output frequencies.
This calibration offers the conversion loss/gain measurements with correcting
the mismatches of both input and output test ports.

Vector-mixer calibration Vector-mixer calibration corrects for directivity, source match, load match,

and reflection frequency response at each test port by using a characterized
calibration mixer with de-embedding function. This calibration provides the
measurements of phase and absolute group delay. The characterization of the
calibration mixer is part of the calibration process.

Methods

Internal analyzer execution Applications can be developed in a built-in VBA® (Visual Basic for Applications)

language. Applications can be executed from within the analyzer via COM
(component object model) or using SCPI.

Controlling via GPIB The GPIB interface operates to IEEE 488.2 and SCPI protocols.

The analyzer can be controlled by a GPIB external controller. The analyzer can
control external devices using a USB/GPIB interface.

LAN

Standard conformity 10 BaseT or 100 BaseTX (automatically switched), Ethertwist,

RJ45 connector

Protocol TCP/IP

Function Telnet, SICL-LAN

System capabilities

Familiar graphical user interface The ENA Series analyzer employs a graphical user interface based on

Windows®operating system. There are three ways to operate the instrument
manually: you can use a hardkey interface, touch screen interface (option
E5070B/E5071B-016) or a mouse interface.

Limit lines Define the test limit lines that appear on the display for pass/fail testing.

Defined limits may be any combination of horizontal/sloping lines and discrete
data points.

Fixture simulator

Balance-unbalance conversion Convert data from single-ended measurement to balanced measurement

parameters (mixed-mode S-parameters), balanced parameters or CMRR by
using internal software.

Network de-embedding De-embed an arbitrary circuit defined by a two-port Touchstone data file

(50 Ω system) for each test port. This function eliminates error factors
between calibration plane and DUT and expands the calibration plane for each
test port. This function can be used with the port extension function.

Port reference impedance conversion Convert S-parameters measured in 50 Ω reference impedance to data

in other reference impedance levels by using internal software. This conversion
can be performed for both single-ended (unbalance) measurement ports and
converted balanced measurement ports.

Matching circuit Add one of predefined matching circuits or a circuit defined by a two-port

Touchstone data file to each single-ended test port or converted balanced
(differential) test port by using internal software.
