Immunity Testing
Radiated Immunity When tested at 3 V/m according to IEC
801-3/1984, the displayed average noise level will be within specifications over the full immunity test frequency range of 27 to 500 MHz, except that at immunity test frequencies of 278.6 MHz ± selected resolution bandwidth and 321.4 MHz ± selected resolution bandwidth, the displayed average noise level may be up to
90 dBm. When the analyzer tuned frequency is identical to the immunity test signal frequency there may be signals of up to 90 dBm displayed on the screen.
Electrostatic Discharge In accordance with IEC 801-2/1991, an air
discharge of up to 8 kV, or a contact discharge of up to 4 kV, will not cause any change of instrument state or measurement data. However, discharges to center pins of front or rear panel connectors may cause damage to the associated circuitry.
