a The receiver dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the noise floor and the receiver maximum output power. The effective
dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account.
b 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.
c 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 predefined 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.
d Typical performance.
e 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 dynamic range.
