Data Sheet

Defi nitions

All specifications apply over a 23 °C ±5 °C range (unless otherwise stated) and
90 minutes after the instrument has been turned on.

Specifi cation (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.

Degradation of some product specifi cations can
occur in the presence of ambient power frequency
magnetic fi elds of 30 A/m or greater.
The product self-recovers and operates as speci­fi ed when removed or shielded from the ambient
magnetic fi eld.
When the analyzer tuned frequency is identical
to the immunity test signal frequency, there may
be signals of up to −80 dB of full-scale response
displayed on the screen.

Emission of magnetic fi eld may occur at the left
side of the where two cooling fans are installed.
Its magnitude can be as much as 160A/m and
25A/m at 0cm and 1cm apart from the center of
the fan, respectively. It is recommended to have
enough clearance between the cooling fans and
magnetically sensitive device or instruments.

Data accuracy enhancement

Measurement calibration Measurement calibration signifi cantly reduces

measurement uncertainty due to errors caused
by system directivity, source and load match,
tracking and crosstalk. Full 2-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 refl ection or
transmission measurements.

Response and isolation Compensates for frequency response and

crosstalk errors of transmission measurements.

Enhanced response Compensates for frequency response and source

match errors.

One-port calibration Compensates for directivity, frequency response

and source match errors.
