System Specifications
Specifications describe the instrument’s warranted performance,
and apply when using 80300A Series Power Sensors and 80500A
Series Bridges.
Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 40 GHz in coax using the Giga-
tronics 80300 Series power sensors and 80500 Series bridges.
Power Range: +30 to -70 dBm, see power sensor specifications.
System Dynamic Range:
CW Measurements: 90 dB
Peak Measurements: 40 dB
Swept Measurements: AC Mode 90 dB, DC Mode 80 dB
Inputs: Three identical inputs, A, B and C, accept detected
outputs from the Giga-tronics power sensors and bridges.
Display
Screen: Full color display. Each channel can be assigned a
different color. Graticule color is selectable (default green).
Menus for soft keys use color.
Display resolution: 608 X 430 points.
Channels: Four channels can be used to select and
simultaneously display inputs from A, B and C sensors in single
channel or ratio mode.
Display Modes
Graph/Readout: Graph mode displays swept frequency response
on screen. Readout mode displays power level at cursor
frequency or CW power levels in digital format on screen.
Graph Modes:
dBm: single channel power measurement.
dB: relative power measurement (ratio or relative to trace
memory).

Readout Modes:
dBm: single channel power measurement.
dB: relative power measurement
Lin: nW, μW, mW and Watts: signal channel measurement.
%: dual channel measurement.
% Rel: dual channel measurement relative to a reference.
Channel Offset: -90 dB to +90 dB in .01 dB increments.
Autoscale: Automatically sets the scale factor, reference level
and reference position to provide optimum display of active
channel.
Averaging: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 successive traces
(swept) or readings (CW) can be averaged to reduce effects of
noise on measurement.
Smoothing: Provides a linear moving average of adjacent data
points. The smoothing aperture defines the trace width (number
of data points) to be averaged. The smoothing aperture can be
set from 0.1% to 20% of the trace width.
Trace Memory: Ten traces can be individually labeled and stored
in non-volatile memory and recalled. Stored traces can be
displayed, and trace differences from any measurement can be
displayed.
Adaptive Path Calibration (Normalization): Traces are stored in
non-volatile memory and normalized with the highest resolution,
independent of display scale/division or offset. Up to 4,096
points for each trace are stored over the full frequency range of
the sweeper or any user selected frequency range. Normalization
data is automatically interpolated for ranges within the original
normalized range.
Settings Store/Recall: Allows up to nine front panel setups, plus
a power down last instrument state, to be stored and recalled
from non-volatile memory.
Limit Lines: Horizontal, sloped, and/or single point lines for each
trace can be set as go/no-go data limits. Limit lines are stored in
non-volatile memory. Complex limit lines can be entered through
the front panel or via GPIB interface.
