Corrected system performance
The specifications in this section apply for measure-
ments made with the PNA Series analyzer with the
following conditions:
• 10 Hz IF bandwidth
• No averaging applied to data
• Environmental temperature of 25 °C ±5 °C, with
less than 1 °C deviation from the calibration tem-
perature
• Isolation calibration not omitted
System dynamic range
Description Specification (dB) Characteristic (dB)
Dynamic Range a (at test port)
300 kHz to 25 MHz b 125
25 MHz to 3 GHz b 128
3 GHz to 6 GHz 118
6 GHz to 9 GHz 113
Dynamic Range c (at receiver input)
300 kHz to 25 MHz d 140
25 MHz to 3 GHz d 143
3 GHz to 6 GHz 133
6 GHz to 9 GHz 128
a. The test port dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the test port rms noise floor and the source maximum output power. The effective dynamic range
must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account.
b. May be limited to 100 dB at particular frequencies below 750 MHz due to spurious receiver residuals.
c. The receiver input dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the receiver rms 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, frequency segments can be defined with a higher power level when the extended dynamic range is
required (i.e. the portion of the device’s response with high insertion loss), and reduced power when receiver damage may occur (i.e. the portion of the device’s
response with low insertion loss).
d. May be limited to 115 dB at particular frequencies below 750 MHz due to spurious receiver residuals.
