Definitions
Product data applies under the following conditions:
• Three hours storage at the expected operating temperature followed by 30 minutes warm-up, unless otherwise stated
• Specified environmental conditions met
• Recommended calibration interval adhered to
• All internal automatic adjustments performed, if applicable
Specifications with limits
Describe warranted product performance by means of a range of values for the specified parameter. These specifications are marked
with limiting symbols such as <, ≤, >, ≥, ±, or descriptions such as maximum and minimum.
Specifications in normal print refer to parameters where compliance is ensured by the design or derived from the measurement of
related parameters.
Specifications in bold print are 100 % tested. Test limits have been narrowed by guard bands to take into account measurement
uncertainties, drift and aging, if applicable.
Specifications without limits
Describe warranted product performance by means of a representative value for the specified parameter. Limits are omitted whenever
they are not relevant for the specification (e.g. dimensional data).
Typical values (typical)
Represent the population mean for the given parameter, derived from the design and/or production testing. Typical values are not
warranted by Rohde & Schwarz.
Limits of uncertainty
Expanded uncertainties with a coverage factor of 2, calculated from the test assembly specifications and the modeled behavior of the
sensor, including environmental conditions, aging, wear and tear, if applicable. The given values represent limits of uncertainty that are
met by the Rohde & Schwarz instrument after calibration at a production or service site. Limits of uncertainty are indicated in italics
and have been determined in line with the rules of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM).
