Specifications and Characteristics
This chapter lists specifications and characteristics of the HP 54753A, 54754A
TDR plug-in module when it is combined with either the HP 83480A or HP
54750A mainframes. The specifications and characteristics for the mainframe
are in the HP 83480A, 54750A User’s Guide. Specifications apply over the
temperature range +15°C to +35°C (unless otherwise noted) after the
instrument’s temperature has been stabilized after 60 minutes of continuous
operation. Unless otherwise noted, corrected limits are given when
specifications are subject to minimization with error-correction routines.

Characteristics
Characteristics provide useful, nonwarranted, information about the functions
and performance of the instrument. Characteristics are printed in italics.
Calibration interval
HP recommends that the factory calibration be performed on a periodic basis.
HP designs instruments to meet specifications over the recommended
calibration interval provided that the instrument is operated within the
specified operating environment. To maintain specifications, periodic
recalibrations are necessary. We recommend that the plug-in module be
calibrated at an HP service facility every 12 months. Users are encouraged to
adjust the calibration cycle based on their particular operating environment or
measurement accuracy needs.
