Supplemental Characteristics:

ABSOLUTE LEVEL MEASUREMENT ACCURACY AT LOW LEVELS
(at constant temperature and after RF range calibration is com-
pleted)

12

:

Absolute level measurement accuracy is a function of the RF
Power and Tuned RF Level measurement accuracy. For a source
with an output SWR of 1.7 and level of –110 dBm the typical
absolute level measurement accuracy is 0.46 dB rss and 1.02 dB
worst case.

IF FREQUENCY: 455 kHz.

ACQUISITION TIME:

<4 seconds,

–110 dBm.

<10 seconds,

–127 dBm.

<4 seconds, levels

–85 dBm.

<10 seconds, levels <–85 dBm.

RESPONSE TIME (responding to changes in level of an acquired
signal):

<2 seconds,

–110 dBm.

<5 seconds,

–127 dBm.

<2 seconds,

–85 dBm.

<5 seconds, <–85 dBm.

12. Tuned RF Level accuracy will be affected by residual FM of the source-under-test.

If the residual FMpeak is >50 Hz measured over a 30 second period in a 3 kHz
BW, Tuned RF Level measurements should be made using the IF average detector
(30 kHz BW) by using Special Function 4.4. The Tuned RF Level measurement sen-
sitivity when using the IF average detector is –100 dBm.

13. IF Ranges 6 and 7 (see Tuned RF Level range plots) are only used in automatic

operation for Tuned RF Level measurements below approximately –110 dBm for
the IF synchronous detector, and below approximately –85 dBm for the IF average
detector.
