Freq Option 526 only:
Modes above 18 GHz
a
a. Signal frequencies between 18 and 26.5 GHz are prone to additional response errors due to modes in the
Type-N connector used with frequency Option 526. With the use of Type-N to APC 3.5 mm adapter part
number 1250-1744, there are nominally six such modes. The effect of these modes with this connector
are included within these specifications.

reference condition (50 MHz)

c
Attenuation 10 dB)
b. See the Electronic Attenuator (Option EA3) chapter for Frequency Response using the electronic atten-
uator.
c. For Sweep Type = FFT, add the RF flatness errors of this table to the IF Frequency Response errors. An
additional error source, the error in switching between swept and FFT sweep types, is nominally
±0.01
dB and is included within the “Absolute Amplitude Error” specifications.

d. Specifications apply with DC coupling at all frequencies. With AC coupling, specifications apply at fre-
quencies of 50 MHz and higher. Statistical observations at 10 MHz show that most instruments meet the
specifications, but a few percent of instruments can be expected to have errors exceeding 0.5 dB at 10
MHz at the temperature extreme. The effect at 20 to 50 MHz is negligible, but not warranted.
