Characteristics Description
Amplitude Range
For a CW signal at specified frequencies in each path.
Each path is calibrated at a single frequency ( see Amplitude Accuracy). For s ignals at different
frequencies, the range is shifted and the actual output power will be offset from the requested
power. The specifications for the no filter path at 13 GHz and the band pass path at 18 G Hz
reflect the capability at those frequencies, not the accuracy.
No fi lter 25 dBm to –70 dBm at 1 GHz
18 dBm to –77 dBm at 13 GHz

13 GHz to 18 GHz 20 dBm to –90 dBm at 14 GHz

Amplitude resolution 0.01 dB
Amplitude accuracy
The AWG does not include a leveling l oop. Signal amplitude accuracy is only specified for a
CW signal at the c alibration frequency. Signals at different frequencies can have a different
amplitude. Modulated or multi-tone signals often have significantly lower amplitude.
Calibration is done with a small signal to keep the amplifier in a linear range. When playing
out full amplitude signals at high levels the amplifiers can be driven into compression and the
output amplitude will not match the requested level and the signal can be distorted.
