Specifications apply under the following conditions:
Data valid for the R&S
®
CMW500, the R&S®CMW280 and the R&S®CMW270 unless otherwise stated.
Data without tolerance limits is not binding. Based on a 24-month calibration interval unless otherwise stated. At least 15 minutes
warm-up time at ambient temperature, specified environmental conditions met, calibration cycle adhered to, and all internal automatic
adjustments performed. Typical values are designated with the abbreviation “typ.”. These values are verified during the final test but
are not assured by Rohde & Schwarz. Nominal values are design parameters that are not assured by Rohde & Schwarz. These values
are verified during product development but are not specifically tested during production.
In line with the 3GPP/3GPP2 standard, chip rates are specified in Mcps (million chips per second), whereas bit rates and symbol rates
are specified in Mbps (million bits per second), kbps (thousand bits per second) or ksps (thousand symbols per second), and sample
rates are specified in Msample/s (million samples per second). Mcps, kbps, ksps and Msample/s are not SI units.
During the production process, each instrument is calibrated in line with defined procedures. All measurement results, including
measurement uncertainties of the calibration system, have to be within the published specification limits to release the individual
instrument. The expanded measurement uncertainties of the calibration system used in the production process are determined with a
coverage factor of k = 2 (normally approx. 95 % probability).
Parameters written in italics can be set directly on the tester.
