Performance Tests
Introduction
Introduction
This chapter provides the performance tests procedures for Keysight E5052B. The
performance test names are listed in Table 2-1.
NOTE Allow the analyzer to warm up for at least 30 minutes before you execute any of the
performance tests.
Perform all performance tests in an ambient temperature of 23 ± 5 ⋅C
NOTE The performance tests should be performed periodically. The recommended test interval is
12 months.
The test interval depends on maintenance and the environmental conditions under which
the instrument is used. You may find that the interval could be shortened or lengthened;
however, such a decision should be based on substantial quantitative data.
This test report is included the Test Accuracy Ratio(TAR) and the Measurement
Uncertainty(MU), and the definitions are as follows;
Test Equipment Required
The required equipment for the performance test is listed in Table 1-1and Table 1-2. Use
only calibrated equipment when doing the performance test.

Para. Title
1 RF Input Impedance Test
2 Frequency Measurement Test
3 Power Measurement Accuracy Test
4 Phase Noise Accuracy Test
5 SSB Phase Noise Sensitivity Test
6 SA Relative Level Accuracy Test
7 DC Power Voltage Test
8 DC Power Current Measurement Test
MU: The reported expanded uncertainty of measurement is stated as the standard
uncertainty of measurement multiplied by the coverage factor k=2, which for
a normal distribution corresponds to a coverage probability of approximately
95%.
TAR: TAR is the ratio obtained by dividing the specification of calibrated item by
the uncertainty of the standards and methods used. The ration is not described
for the single-sided measurements.
