Waveguide Band Specifications and Performance
VectorStar ME7838A BB/mm-Wave VNA
3.3 Port Power, Noise Floor, Dynamic Range – 3744A-EE/3744A-EW mm-Wave Modules
System dynamic range is defined as the ratio of the source power to the noise floor.
Maximum Receiver Power is defined as the 0.2 dB compression point of the receiver at the waveguide port.
Receiver dynamic range is defined as the ratio of maximum receive power to the noise floor.
Noise Floor measurements are RMS, are made with no average in a 10 Hz IF bandwidth, and include an isolation calibration.
All figures are typical.

Power Range, Accuracy, Linearity, and Resolution
Accuracy is defined at –10 dBm or max rated power, whichever is lower. Linearity is defined as the incremental error between the accuracy test
power level and 5 dB below. Typical.
