Agilent 8753ES System Verification and Performance Tests
10. System Trace Noise
Ratio measurements A/R and B/R 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.
Analyzer warm-up time: 30 minutes

a. Trace noise is defined for a transmission measurement in CW mode using a
“through” cable having 0 dB loss, with the source set to +5 dBm, and no averaging.
