1. 8719/20/22ES Specif ications and Characteristics
All specifications and characteristics apply over a 23 °C ±3 °C range (unless otherwise
stated) and 1/2 hour after the instrument has been turned on.
Specification (spec.): Warranted performance. Specifications include gua rdbands to
account for the expected statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties,
and changes in performance due to environmental conditions.
Characte ristic (char.): A performance parameter that the prod uct 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 sa m e guardbands as a specification.
Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average unit which does not include
guardbands. It is not covered by the product wa rranty.
Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that d oes not imply a level of performance. It
is not covered by the product warranty.
Calibration : The process of measuring know n standards from a calibration kit to
characterize a netw ork analyzer’s systematic (repeatable) errors.
Corrected (residual) Performance: Indicates performance after error correction
(calibration). It is determined by the quality of ca libration standards and how well
“known” they are, plus system repeatability, stability, and noise.
Uncorrec ted (raw) Performance: Indicates instrument performance without error
correction. The unc orrected performance affects the stability of a calib ration.
Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes all options unless noted otherwise.
Specifications for Instruments with Multiple Options
For instruments with any or all of the following options, standard instrument
specifications apply:
• Option 400
• Option 089
• Option 012 (except where noted)
For instruments with Option 089 and Option 007, Option 007 specifications apply.
For instruments with Option 089 and Option 085, Option 085 measurement uncertainties
apply, Option 089 R input specifications apply, and all other standard instrument
specifications apply .
For preconfigured analyzers, standard instrument specifications apply, except for
frequency stability ; Option 1D5 specifications apply.
