Definitions

All specifications and characteristics apply over a 25 °C ±5 °C range (unless otherwise stated) and 90 minutes
after the instrument has been turned on.

Specification (spec.): Warranted performance. Specifications include guardbands to account for the expected
statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to
environmental conditions.

Characteristic (char.): A performance parameter that the product is expected to meet before it leaves the
factory, but that is not verified in the field and is not covered by the product warranty. A characteristic includes
the same guardbands as a specification.

Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average unit which does not include guardbands. It is not covered
by the product warranty.

Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance. It is not covered by the
product warranty.

Calibration: The process of measuring known standards to characterize a network analyzer's systematic
(repeatable) errors.

Corrected (residual): Indicates performance after error correction (calibration). It is determined by the quality of
calibration standards and how well "known" they are, plus system repeatability, stability, and noise.

Uncorrected (raw): Indicates instrument performance without error correction. The uncorrected performance
affects the stability of a calibration.

Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes no options unless noted otherwise.

4-4

Corrected System Performance

The specifications in this section apply for measurements made with the E836xA analyzer with the following
conditions:

• 10 Hz IF bandwidth

• No averaging applied to data

• Isolation calibration with an averaging factor of 8

a

The system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the noise floor and the source maximum output power. The effective

dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account.

b

The test port system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the test port noise floor and the source maximum output

power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account.

c

The direct receiver access input system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the receiver access input noise floor and
the source maximum output power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account.
This set-up should only be used when the receiver input will never exceed its damage level. When the analyzer is in segment sweep mode,
the analyzer can have predefined frequency segments which will output a higher power level when the extended dynamic range is required
(i.e. devices with high insertion loss), and reduced power when receiver damage may occur (i.e. devices with low insertion loss). The
extended range is only available in one-path transmission measurements.

d

May be degraded by 10 dB at particular frequencies (multiples of 5 MHz) below 500 MHz due to spurious receiver residuals. Methods are
available to regain the full dynamic range.
