Measurement uncertainty

See table below

Test level of –3 dBm
No averaging
Bandwidth 10 Hz
Ambient temperature equal to the calibration temperature.
A 12 error term calibration is assumed carried out with a good quality 3.5 mm calibration kit capable of achieving the performance specified.

Spurious responses

–76 dBc typical, –70 dBc max.

The main spurious response occurs at close to (2 x RF + 1.3) MHz, where RF is the test frequency in MHz. For example, when testing a bandpass filter with a centre frequency of, say 1900 MHz, an unwanted response will occur around 949.35 MHz. There may also be spurious responses close to (3 x RF + 2.6) MHz. In all known cases the levels will be as stated.

10 MHz to 6 GHz or 8.5 GHz, 201-point trace length. For other lengths and bandwidths, sweep time is approximately:
T_SWP (s)= N x (T_MIN + F_BW/ R_BW) + T_ARM
where N = number of frequency points,
T_MIN (s)= minimum time per point (s2p: 167 μs; s1p: 85 μs),
F_BW = bandwidth settle factor (s2p: 1.91; s1p: 0.956),
R_BW = resolution bandwidth (Hz).
For sweep repetition period add software rearm time:
T_ARM = average 6.5 ms or worst case 50 ms. For markers on, increase T_ARM by 39 ms.
