Environmental characteristics 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 protects key contacts from dust, but the environment should be as dust-free as possible for optimal reliability.

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 HP 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 sig- nals 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 refer- ence output. It is connected to the external reference input on the rear panel. See the “General Characteristics” section for below specifications.

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 HP Omnibook 7100 266 MHz Pentium® II computer.

5. Does not include error from the HP 8753T/ES source and receiver harmonics. 21
