Description

Features and Specifications of Keysight (Agilent/HP) 8713B:

• Frequency Range: 300 kHz to 3.0 GHz
• Integrated transmission/reflection test set and synthesized source
• Narrowband and broadband detection
• “Real time” sweep speed (50 ms/sweep)
• Internal 3 1/2-inch disk drive (LIF/DOS formats)
• 100 dB of system dynamic range
• Optional AM delay and cable test capabilities
•  +16 to –60 dBm dynamic range
•  AC/DC detection modes
•  101 to 1601 measurement points/trace
•  Noise figure measurement display capability

Receiver dynamic range is calculated as the difference between maximum receiver input level and receiver’s noise floor. System dynamic range applies to transmission measurements only, since reflection measurements are limited by directivity. Noise floor is specified as the mean trace noise at specified CW frequencies. A signal at this level would have a signal to noise ratio of 3 dB. Noise floor is measured with test ports terminated in loads, response and isolation calibration, 15 Hz IF bandwidth, 10 dB source power and no averaging.
