N1947A and N1948A Electrical Specifications and Characteristics

Discontinued

Definitions

All specifications and characteristics apply over a 25 °C 5 °C range (unless otherwise stated) and 90 minutes after the instrument has been turned on.

Specification (spec.)

Warranted performance. Specifications include guard bands to account for the expected statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to environmental conditions.

Characteristic (char.)

A performance parameter that the product is expected to meet before it leaves the factory, but that is not verified in the field and is not covered by the product warranty. A characteristic includes the same guard bands as a specification.

Typical (typ.)

Expected performance of an average unit which does not include guard bands. It is not covered by the product warranty.

Nominal (nom.)

A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance. It is not covered by the product warranty.

Calibration

The process of measuring known standards to characterize the system's systematic (repeatable) errors.

Corrected (residual)

Indicates performance after error correction (calibration). It is determined by the quality of calibration standards and how well "known" they are, plus system repeatability, stability, and noise.

Uncorrected (raw)

Indicates instrument performance without error correction. The uncorrected performance affects the stability of a calibration.

Configuration

The following specifications are applicable for a system in the following configurations:

Network Analyzer:

Keysight E8803A Option 014 (N1947A System)

Keysight E8358A Option 015 (N1948A System)

Test Set:

Keysight N4417A Option 103 (N1947A System)

Keysight N4417A Option 104 (N1948A System)

Calibration Kit:

Keysight 85052D 3.5 mm

Test Port Cables:

System Dynamic Range

The test port transmission measurements are valid at 10 Hz IF bandwidth with four-port error correction and +10 dBm default maximum output power. The dynamic range is the difference between rms noise floor and the output power.
