Characteristics
General Performance Characteristics
General Performance Characteristics
1. Inaccurate cable loss factor and/or multiple fault correction may introduce additional error
uncertainties.
2. See your analyzer's User's Guide for information.
SRL Measurement
Mode
Structural Return Loss
Fault Location
Measurement Mode
Return loss (dB) versus distance
Reflection coefficient magnitude versus distance
SWR versus distance
Dynamic Range 40 dB (based on system directivity after calibration)
Windowing Minimum, medium and maximum windows are available for optimizing
distance response data
Amplitude Accuracy
1
±2.5 dB typical (minimum windowing)
±1.2 dB typical (medium windowing)
±0.4 dB typical (maximum windowing)
Data Correction Data is normalized to the open/short/load response at the output port.
Data correction for line losses and preceding mismatches is also
available.

Data Storage
2
Use the internal disks to store and recall setups and data. Typically, you
may store as many as 40 setups on a disk. You may also store data in a
format compatible with popular PC-based spreadsheet software. Data
may also be stored in HPGL graphics format.
Markers Eight independently controlled markers can be used to display return
loss, reflection coefficient, SWR, or impedance versus distance.
Limit Lines Limit lines may be entered for comparison to specification limits and
pass/fail testing.
Remote Programming The analyzer can be controlled from an external computer through the
IEEE 488.2 GPIB port or the LAN interface. Use standard SCPI program
subsystem commands to control the analyzer.
Hard Copy
2
The analyzer can be configured to output print or plot data to the serial
port, the parallel port, the GPIB port, the LAN port, or to a file. The data
can be either a graph or a tabular listing of data points. Tabular listings
include limit-line information and pass/fail margins, point by point.
Fault Range Up to 10000.00 meters. (See Table 9-10 and Table 9-11.)
Resolution Down to 0.195% of range. (See Table 9-10 and Table 9-11.)
