1. These performance parameters are field verifiable using the supplied software and the performance tests documented in the HP 8511A,B and
Antenna Measurement System Performance Verification Software Installation and Getting Started Guide (HP part number 5962-0493).
2. Deviation from a least-squares-straight-line fit, excluding noise and slope. Ratio measurement of any two ports. (Note: b2 to b1 tracking is not field verified
with the performance test software.)
3. Slope of least-squares-straight-line fit over full frequency range.
4. Uncorrected port to port crosstalk with averaging factor of 1024.
5. Trace noise, sweep to sweep variation.
6. Low level noise measured with 50 ohm load at port, and calculated as the mean value of a 101 point trace with IF averaging set at one. Low level
noise varies with averaging factor 10 log (averaging factor).
7. See Figure 2-1 on page 2-2.
