Calibration kits and ECal modules
This E5071C data sheet also provides technical specifications for the
following calibration kits and ECal modules. For models not listed in
this data sheet, please download the free Uncertainty Calculator from
www.agilent.com/find/na_calculator to generate the curves for your
Warranted performance. All specifications apply at 23 ºC (±5 ºC), unless
otherwise stated, and 90 minutes after the instrument has been turned on.
Specifications include guard bands 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):
Supplemental performance data 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.
Note: The specifications in this data sheet also apply to the E5071CEP ENA
network analyzer express configuration. For more information about the Express
ENA, visit www.agilent.com/find/express-e5071c
Boundary Conditions
In this data sheet, boundary conditions are given for the specifications. For
example, system dynamic range is 98 dB with the following boundary conditions.
Option: 485
Frequency: 10 MHz
IF bandwidth: 3 kHz
If the same boundary conditions fall under more than one category in a table,
apply the best value.
Figure 1. System dynamic range (specification and actual measurement data example,
IF bandwidth 10 Hz)
1. The test port dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the test port rms noise fl oor
and the source maximum output power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement
uncertainty and interfering signals into account.
2. The specifi cation might not be met at 5 MHz or 50 MHz.

3. The level accuracy specifi cation needs to be taken into account for test port output power level.
4. Power calibration using an external power meter improves level accuracy of the test port output power.
Proper power meters/sensors, and the 82357B USB-GPIB interface are required to conduct power calibration.
5. Maximum output power is the maximum power of "Range" in Table 13 Test port output power.
6. Source output performance on port 1 only. Other port output performance is typical.
