Amplitude Characteristics
Mode and Negative P eak Detector Mode (Options 101
and 301)
These modes do not utilize the full set of internal amplitude corrections . Therefore , in these
modes , some analyzer amplitude specications are reduced to characteristics . Characteristics
provide useful but nonwarranted information about instrument performance .
In these modes , the following analyzer specications remain as specications:
Amplitude Range Calibrator Output
Maximum Safe Input Level
In these modes , the following analyzer specications are reduced to characteristics:
Gain Compression Reference Level
Displayed A verage Noise Level IF Bandwidth Switching
Spurious Responses Linear to Log Switching
Residual Responses Display Scale Fidelity
Display Range Display Scale Fidelity for Narrow Bandwidths
Finally , the following analyzer specications are replaced by the characteristics which follow in
this subsection:
Marker Readout Resolution Frequency Response
Marker Readout Resolution
(digitizing resolution)
Log Scale 60.31 dB
Linear Scale
frequency 1 GHz 60.59% of reference level
frequency > 1 GHz 61.03% of reference level
