HP 8719/20/22ES Specifications and Characteristics
Definitions
Definitions
All specifications and characteristics apply over a 23 °C ±3 °C range (unless otherwise
stated) and 1/2 hour 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 from a calibration kit to
characterize a network analyzer’s systematic (repeatable) errors.
Corrected (residual) Performance: 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) Performance: Indicates instrument performance without error
correction. The uncorrected performance affects the stability of a calibration.
Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes all options unless noted otherwise.
Specifications for Instruments with Multiple Options
For instruments with any or all of the following options, standard instrument
specifications apply:
• Option 400
• Option 089
• Option 012 (except where noted)
For instruments with Option 089 and Option 007, Option 007 specifications apply.
For instruments with Option 089 and Option 085, Option 085 measurement uncertainties
apply, Option 089 R input specifications apply, and all other standard instrument
specifications apply.
For preconfigured analyzers, standard instrument specifications apply, except for
frequency stability; Option 1D5 specifications apply.
