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.

and the source maximum output power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement
uncertainty and interfering signals into account.
