Measurement Throughput Summary

General Conditions

RFI and EMI susceptibility: defined by VDE 0730, CISPR Publication 11, and FCC Class B Standards.

ESD (electrostatic discharge): must be eliminated by use of static-safe work procedures and an anti- static bench mat. The flexible rubber keypad pro- tects key contacts from dust, but the environment should be as dust-free as possible for optimal relia- bility.

Agilent 8753ET/ES

Physical dimensions

1.One-port calibration, with a 6 kHz IF bandwidth. Includes system retrace time, but does not include bandswitch time. Time-domain gating is assumed off.

2.Same as footnote 1, but for an S21 measurement with full two-port calibration. Includes RF switching time.

3.Option 010 only, gating off.

4.Measured with an Omnibook 7100 266 MHz Pentium® II computer.

5.Does not include error from the 8753T/ES source and receiver harmonics.

The following table shows typical measurement times in milliseconds.

Options

Harmonic measurements (Option 002)

Measures amplifier 2nd and 3rd harmonics on a swept-frequency basis for fundamental signals above 16 MHz.

Dynamic Range (source at +10 dBm, receiver <+30 dBm)

	+40 dBc (minimum)
Accuracy5	±1 dB (<6 GHz)

Step attenuator (Option 004)

Provides source output power range from -85 to +10 dBm for 8753ET model.

6 GHz operation (Option 006)

With Option 006, performance is extended to

6 GHz. When external source, tuned receiver or harmonic mode is used, the receiver is capable of measuring signals up to 6 GHz.

Time domain (Option 010)

Transforms data from the frequency domain to the time domain using a Fourier transformation technique.

High-stability frequency reference (Option 1D5)

This option adds an ovenized 10-MHz frequency reference output. It is connected to the external reference input on the rear panel. See the “General Characteristics” section for below specifications.
