The dynamic range is defined as the difference between the actual maximum source power and the RMS value of the data trace of the transmission
magnitude, which is produced by noise and crosstalk with the test ports short-circuited. The specification applies at 10 Hz measurement bandwidth,
without system error correction. The dynamic range can be increased by using a measurement bandwidth of 1 Hz. Crosstalk does not limit the dynamic
range. Dynamic range between port 1 and port 2 and between port 3 and port 4 (4-port model). Otherwise the dynamic range performance is typical.
