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 on cable used. These typical
specifications are set based on the use of Agilent through cable part number 85133-60016.
d. 0 Hz offset.
e. The value is -85 dB for frequencies below 1 GHz.
f. The value is -95 dB from 45 MHz to 1 GHz.

If Error Terms Seem Worse than Expected

To verify that the system still conforms to specifications, perform a system verification.
Refer to Chapter 3, "Tests and Adjustments."
