2.2 System and Receiver Dynamic Range, Noise Floor (Excludes localized spurious responses and crosstalk)
System Dynamic Range System dynamic range is measured as the difference between maximum port power and the RMS noise
floor in a 10 Hz bandwidth and no averaging (ports terminated).
Noise Floor Noise floor is calculated as the difference between maximum rated port power and system dynamic range.
Receiver Dynamic Range Receiver Dynamic Range is calculated as the difference between the receiver compression level and the
noise floor at Ports 1 or 2.
Normalizing Measurement Normalizing measurement made with a through line connection, with its effects compensated for. The
cables between the VNA and the 3743A modules are assumed to be the 806-206 1.85 mm cable (61 cm,
24 in long) or the 806-209 1.85 mm cable (91 cm, 36 in long). All figures are typical.
