Agilent 8753ET System Verification and Performance Tests
11. System Trace Noise
Perform this test to determine the system trace noise at designated CW frequencies in
both transmission and reflection modes. Ratio measurements are made at 3 GHz and
6 GHz to determine the variability of the analyzer’s measurement data. IF bandwidths of
3 kHz and 10 Hz are used for the test.
NOTE Trace noise is defined for a ratio measurement. For the transmission
measurement (B/R), the connection is a 0 dB-loss thru with 0 dBm into the
receiver. For a reflection measurement (A/R), an open is used on the reflection
port with +5 dBm reflected power.
Analyzer warm-up time: 30 minutes.
