lksts
The performance of the HP 8753E network analyzer is specified in two ways:
Specifies warranted performance of the
wu?asurm
system when making
error-corrected S-parameter measurements. The measurement system
includes the analyzer, test cables, and calibration kit. The System Verification
Procedure is used to
conti
performance of the measurement system to the
System Specilications.
Specifies the network analyzer’s output and input behavior and its
uncorrected measurement port characteristics. Performance tests are used to
confirm performance of the analyzer to the Instrument Specifications.
System Specifications
System Specifications, also called Measurement Port Specifications, are
described in Chapter 7 of the HP
8753E
User’s cuides. They specify warranted
performance of the entire

System Specifications, conhrmed by the System Verification Procedure, are
applicable when the measurement system is used to make error-corrected
