Agilent Technologies E4438C manual Operating characteristics

General Characteristics

Operating characteristics

Power requirements		90 to 254 V; 50, or 60 Hz; 300 W maximum,
		power factor corrected. Not for 400 Hz use.1
Operating temperature range2 0 to 55 °C
Storage temperature range		–40 to 71 °C
Shock and vibration		Meets MIL-STD-28800E Type III, Class 3.
Leakage		Conducted and radiated interference meets
		MIL-STD-461C CE02 Part 2 and CISPR 11. Leakage is
		typically < 1 µV [nominally 0.1 µV with a 2-turn loop] at
		≤ 1000 MHz, measured with a resonant dipole antenna,
		one inch from any surface with output level < 0 dBm
		[all inputs/outputs properly terminated].
Storage registers		Memory is shared by instrument states, user data files,
		non-volatile waveforms, sweep list files and waveform
		sequences. There is 14 MB of flash memory standard in
		the ESG. With Option 005, there is 6 GB of storage.
		Depending on available memory, a maximum of 1000
		instrument states can be saved.
Weight		< 16 kg [35 lb.] net, < 23 kg [50 lb.] shipping
Dimensions		133 mm H x 426 mm W x 432 mm D
		[5.25 in H x 16.8 in W x 17 in D]
Remote programming
	Interface	GPIB [IEEE-488.2-1987] with listen and talk, RS-232,
		LAN [10BaseT].
	Control languages 3	SCPI version 1996.0, also compatible with 8656B and
		8657A/B/C/D/J1 mnemonics.
	Functions controlled	All front panel functions except power switch and knob.
ISO compliant		The E4438C ESG is manufactured in an ISO-9001
		registered facility in concurrence with
		Agilent Technologies commitment to quality.
Reverse power protection
		Standard	With Option 506
	250 kHz to 2 GHz	47 dBm	30 dBm
	> 2 to 4 GHz	44 dBm	30 dBm
	> 4 to 6 GHz	N/A	30 dBm
	Max DC voltage	50 V
SWR 4
		Standard	Option UNB	Option 506
	250 kHz to 2.2 GHz	(< 1.5:1)	(< 1.5:1)	(< 1.6:1)
	> 2.2 GHz to 3 GHz	(< 1.4:1)	(< 1.5:1)	(< 1.4:1)
	> 3 GHz to 4 GHz	(< 1.5:1)	(< 1.7:1)	(< 1.7:1)
	> 4 GHz to 6 GHz	N/A	N/A	(< 1.8:1)
Output impedance		50 Ω nominal

1.For 400 Hz systems, order transformer 70001-60066.

2.Save and recall of user files and instrument states from non-volatile storage is guaranteed only over the range 0 to 40 °C.

3.ESG series does not implement 8657A/B “Standby” or “On” [R0 or R1, respectively] mnemonics.

4.Parentheses denote typical performance.
