Measurement qualifications
In order for the E5505A to meet its accuracy specifications, these
qualifications must be met by the signal sources you are using:
• Source Return Loss: 9.5 dB (<2:1 SWR)
• Source Harmonic Distortion <–20 dB (or a square wave)
• Nonharmonic spurious ≤ –26 dBc (except for phase modulation close to the
If either of these conditions are not met, system measurement accuracy may
be reduced.
