1. The system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the noise
floor and the source maximum output power. System dynamic range is a
specification when the source is set to port 1, and a characteristic when the
source is set to port . The effective dynamic range must take measurement
uncertainties and interfering signals into account.
. The test port system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the
test port noise floor and the source maximum output power. The effective
dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals
into account.
. The direct receiver access input system dynamic range is calculated as the
difference between the direct receiver access input noise floor and the source
maximum output power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement
uncertainties and interfering signals into account. This set-up should only be
used when the receiver input will never exceed its damage level. When the
analyzer is in segment sweep mode, the analyzer can have pre-defined
frequency segments which will output a higher power level when the extended
dynamic range is required (i.e. devices with high insertion loss), and reduced
power when receiver damage may occur (i.e. devices with low insertion loss).
The extended range is only available in one-path transmission measurements.
. Typical performance.
5. May be limited to 100 dB at particular frequencies below 500 MHz due to
spurious receiver residuals. Methods are available to regain the full dynamic
range.
6. E86B only: Option H11 decreases value by 1 dB.
7. E86B only: Option H11 decreases value by dB.
