Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test
This chapter introduces the performance verification test methods and test process of RSA3000
series real-time spectrum analyzer in GPSA mode.
Note:
1) Before executing the performance verification test, ensure that the spectrum analyzer has
undergone the self-calibration.
2) Before performing each test, ensure that the spectrum analyzer has been warmed up for at least
30 minutes.
3) Press Preset to reset the instrument to the factory setting before or after executing any of the
following tests.
4) For amplitude-related tests, perform self-calibration on the instrument (press System →
Alignment → Align Now) before the test.
5) Definitions of "Typical", "Nominal", and "Measured" values for this product are as follows.
➢ Typical: typical performance, which 80% of the measurement results will meet at room
temperature (approximately 25℃). The data are not warranted and do not include the
measurement uncertainty.
➢ Nominal: the expected mean or average performance or a designed attribute (such as the
50Ω connector). This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature
(approximately 25℃).
➢ Measured (meas.): an attribute measured during the design phase which can be compared
to the expected performance, i.g. the amplitude drift varies with time. This data is not
warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately 25℃).
