Definitions

All specifications apply over a 23 °C ±5 °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.

Typical (typ.):

Describes performance that will be met by a minimum of 80% of all products. It is not guaranteed by the product warranty.

Supplemental performance data (SPD):

Represents the value of a parameter that is most likely to occur; the expected mean or average. It is not guaranteed by the product warranty.

General characteristics:

A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance.

Corrected System Performance

The specifications in this section apply for measurements made with the Agilent E5071C Network Analyzer under the following conditions:

• No averaging applied to data

• Environmental temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C, with less than 1 °C deviation from the calibration temperature

• Response and isolation calibration not omitted
