Definitions

Specification (spec.):

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.

Corrected System Performance

The specifications in this section apply to 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 performed
