E6890A Datasheet, PDF (2/6 Pages) Agilent(Hewlett-Packard) – Wireless Communications Test Set

Technical Specifications
Amplitude modulation
These specifications apply to an E6601A mainframe and the
E6890A General Purpose Application firmware revision A.04 or
higher. Specifications describe the test set’s warranted perfor-
mance and are valid for the unit’s operation within ±10 °C of the
last self alignment. All specifications are valid after a 30-minute
warm-up period of continuous operation with valid self-alignment
unless otherwise noted. If the instrument has been off for longer
than 48 hours, a 48-hour warm-up period followed by self-align-
ment is required.

Total harmonic distortion
100 Hz to 100 kHz
0 to 99.9%
< ± 1.0% (20 kHz modulation
frequency, 60% AM depth and

–25 dBm output level)
Supplemental characteristics are intended to provide typical, but
non-warranted, performance parameters that may be useful in
applying the instrument. These characteristics are shown in italics
and labeled as “typical.” All units shipped from the factory meet
these typical numbers at +25 °C ambient temperature without
including measurement uncertainty.
