Definitions
All specifications and characteristics apply over a 25 °C ±5 °C range (unless otherwise stated) and 90 minutes
after the instrument has been turned on.
Specification (spec.): Warranted performance. Specifications include guardbands to account for the expected
statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to
environmental conditions.
Characteristic (char.): A performance parameter that the product is expected to meet before it leaves the
factory, but that is not verified in the field and is not covered by the product warranty. A characteristic includes
the same guardbands as a specification.
Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average unit which does not include guardbands. It is not covered
by the product warranty.
Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance. It is not covered by the
product warranty.
Calibration: The process of measuring known standards to characterize a network analyzer's systematic
(repeatable) errors.
Corrected (residual): Indicates performance after error correction (calibration). It is determined by the quality of
calibration standards and how well "known" they are, plus system repeatability, stability, and noise.
Uncorrected (raw): Indicates instrument performance without error correction. The uncorrected performance
affects the stability of a
calibration .
Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes no options unless noted otherwise.
