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 2. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and
interfering signals into account.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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. E8362C only: Option H11 decreases value by 1 dB.
7. E8362C only: Option H11 decreases value by 2 dB.
