This N5230A document provides technical specifications for the following calibration
kit and ECal module only: 85052B and N4433A. Please download our free Uncertainty
Calculator from www.agilent.com/find/na_calculator to generate the curves for
your calibration kit and PNA setup.
Definitions
All specifications and characteristics apply over a 25 °C ±5 °C range
(unless otherwise stated) and 90 minutes after the instrument has been turned on.
Specification (spec.): Warranted performance. Specifications include
guardbands to account for the expected statistical performance distribution, measurement
uncertainties, and changes in performance due to
environmental conditions.
Characteristic (char.): A performance parameter that the product is expected
to meet before it leaves the factory, but that is not verified in the field and is not covered
by the product warranty. A characteristic includes the same guardbands as a specification.
Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average unit which does not include guard-
bands. It is not covered by the product warranty.
Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of
performance. It is not covered by the product warranty.
Calibration: The process of measuring known standards to characterize a
network analyzer's systematic (repeatable) errors.
Corrected (residual): Indicates performance after error correction (calibration). It is deter-
mined by the quality of calibration standards and how well "known" they are, plus system
repeatability, stability, and noise.
Uncorrected (raw): Indicates instrument performance without error correction. The uncor-
rected performance affects the stability of a calibration.
Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes no options unless
noted otherwise.
