Maximum power specification is warranted from
15 to 35ºC, and is typical from 0 to 15ºC. Maximum
power over the 35 to 55ºC range typically degrades
less than 2 dB.

5

To within 0.1 dB of final amplitude within one
attenuator range

6

Specifications apply over the 15 to 35ºC temperature
range. Degradation outside this range, for power levels
> -10 dBm, is typically < 0.3 dB.

For instruments with type-N connectors (Option 1ED),
specifications are degraded typically 0.2 dB above
18 GHz.
