1. The receiver dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the noise floor
and the receiver maximum input level. The effective dynamic range must take
measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account.
2. The test port receiver dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the
test port noise floor and the receiver maximum input level. The effective dynamic
range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account.
3. The direct receiver access input receiver dynamic range is calculated as the
difference between the direct receiver access input noise floor and the receiver
maximum input level. 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 compression or 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 compression
or 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 degraded by 10 dB at particular frequencies (multiples of 5 MHz) below
500 MHz due to spurious receiver residuals. Methods are available to regain the full
