Definitions
All specifications and characteristics apply under the following conditions, unless otherwise stated:
Warm-Up Time
After 90 minutes of warm-up time, where the instrument is left in the ON state.
Temperature Range
Over the 25 °C ± 5 °C temperature range.
Error-Corrected Specifications
For error-corrected specifications, over 23 °C ± 3 °C, with < 1 °C variation from calibration temperature.
For error-corrected specifications are warranted and include guard-bands, unless otherwise stated.
Frequency Bands in Tables
When a frequency is listed in two rows of the same table, the specification for the common frequency is
taken from the lower frequency band, except when the band edge is less than 5 GHz.
User Cables
Specifications do not include effects of any user cables attached to the instrument.
Discrete Spurious Responses
Specifications may exclude discrete spurious responses.
Internal Reference Signal
All specifications apply with internal 10 MHz Crystal Oscillator Reference Signal.
Interpolation Mode
All specifications are with Interpolation Mode Off.
Standard
Refers to instruments without Options 051, 061, or 062.
Typical Performance
Typical performance indicates the measured performance of an average unit.
It does not include guard-bands and is not covered by the product warranty.
Typical specifications are shown in parenthesis, such as (-102 dB), or noted as Typical.
Characteristic Performance
Characteristic performance indicates a performance designed-in and verified during the design phase. It
does include guard-bands and is not covered by the product warranty.
Below 300 kHz
All uncertainties below 300 kHz are typical.
Recommended Calibration Cycle
12 months (Residual specifications also require calibration kit calibration cycle adherence.)
Specifications Subject to Change
All specifications subject to change without notice. For the most current data sheet, please visit the Anritsu
