a. Uncorrected system performance. The values in the table apply over an environmental temperature
of 23 °C ±3 °C, with less than 1 °C deviation from the calibration temperature.
b. Typical performance.
c. Transmission tracking performance is strongly dependent upon the cable used. These typical
specifications are set based on the use of Agilent through cable, part number 85133-60016.
d. The value is −85 dB for frequencies below 1 GHz.
