9 kHz to 1.0 GHz (Any model at 1 GHz BW without MDO3SA installed)
9 kHz to 500 MHz (Any model at 500 MHz BW without MDO3SA installed)
9 kHz to 350 MHz (Any model at 350 MHz BW without MDO3SA installed)
9 kHz to 200 MHz (Any model at 200 MHz BW without MDO3SA installed)
9 kHz to 100 MHz (Any model at 100 MHz without MDO3SA installed)
Resolution bandwidth range
RBW Range for Windowing functions as follows:
Kaiser (default): 30 Hz – 150 MHz
Rectangular: 20 Hz – 150 MHz
Hamming: 20 Hz – 150 MHz
Hanning: 20 Hz – 150 MHz
Blackman-Harris: 30 Hz – 150 MHz
Flat-Top: 50 Hz – 150 MHz
Adjusted in 1-2-3-5 sequence
Kaiser RBW shape factor 60 db/3 db Shape factor  4:1
Reference frequency error
(cumulative)
Cumulative Error: ±10 x 10
-6
Includes allowances for Aging per Year, R eference Frequency Calibration
Accuracy, and Temperature Stability.
Valid over the recommended 1 year calibration interval, from –10 °C to +55 °C .
NOTE. The RF and analog channels share the same reference frequency.
Reference frequency accuracy is tested by the Long-term Sample Rate and
Delay Time Accuracy checks.
Marker frequency measurement
accuracy
±(([Reference Frequency Error] x [Marker Frequency]) + (span / 750 + 2)) Hz
Reference Frequency Error = 1 0 ppm (10 Hz/MHz)
Example, assuming the s pan is set to 10 kHz and the marker is at 1,500 MHz,
this would result in a Frequency Measurement Accuracy of ±((10 Hz/1 MHz x
1,500 MHz) + (10 kHz / 750 + 2)) = ±15.015 kHz.
Marker Frequency with Span/RBW  1000:1
Reference Frequency Error with Marker level to displayed noise level > 30 dB
Phase noise
10 kHz: < –81 dBc/Hz (–85 dBc/Hz, typical)
100 kHz: < –97 dBc/Hz (–101 dBc/Hz, typical)
1 MHz: < –118 dBc/Hz (–122 dBc/Hz, typical)
Phase noise measured offset from 1 GHz CW signal
Frequency range DANL
9kHz–50kHz
< –109 dBm/Hz (< –113 dBm/Hz, typical)
50 kHz – 5 MHz
< –126 dBm/Hz (< –130 dB m/Hz, typical)
5 MHz – 2 GHz < –136 dBm/Hz (< –140 dBm/Hz, typical)
Displayed average noise level
(DANL)
2 GHz – 3 GHz < –126 dBm/Hz (< –130 dB m/Hz, typical)
