12 BB60C Specifications
The following preliminary specifications are based on being in the Preset condition, using internal timebase, video processing set for average
and power, plus VBW, sweep, gain, and attenuation in the default auto mode.
Frequency Range: 9 kHz to 6 GHz
Streaming Digitized I/Q: 250 kHz to 27 MHz of selectable IF bandwidth that is amplitude corrected
Resolution Bandwidths (RBW): 10 Hz to 10 MHz
Internal Timebase Accuracy: ± 1 ppm per year
Sweep Speed (RBW ≥10 kHz): 24 GHz/sec
Amplitude (RBW ≤100 kHz)
Range: +10dBm to Displayed Average Noise Level (DANL)
Absolute Accuracy: ± 2.0 dB (arbitrary & non-native RBW’s)
+ 2.0 dB/-2.6 dB (native RBW’s – faster DSP)
RF Input VSWR at tuned frequency: ≤ 3.0:1 (<10 dB attenuation)
≤ 1.5:1 (≥10 dB attenuation)
LO Leakage at RF Input: -80 dBm

Recommended Computer
Windows® 7 or 8 operating system, 8 GB of RAM, Intel i7, 3
rd
generation (Ivy Bridge) or later with a quad core
processor, one USB 3.0 port, and one adjacent USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port.
Note: RF recording using streaming I/Q bandwidths > 8 MHz requires the computer’s mass storage drive to have at
least 250MB/sec of sustained write speed such as an SSD, RAID-0, or RAID-5.
