11.The HP 8753ES source characteristics and measurement accuracy in this mode are dependent on the stability of the external LO source. The RF source tracks the LO to maintain a stable IF signal at the R-channel receiver input. Degradation in accuracy is negligible when using an HP 8642A/B, 8656B, or E4432B RF signal generator as the LO source.
