Performance Test

Introduction

Introduction
This literature provides the performance test procedures for the Agilent E5071C RF
Network Analyzers. The performance test names are listed in Table 2-1. The test
procedures are described sequentially in the following pages.
The test name indicates the tested performance and to which performance group the tested
performance belongs.
NOTE
Allow the analyzer to warm up for at least 30 minutes before you execute any of the
performance tests.
Perform all performance tests in an ambient temperature of 23 ± 5 °C
NOTE
The performance tests should be performed periodically. The recommended test interval is
12 months.
The test interval depends on maintenance of use and the environmental conditions under
which the instrument is used. You may find that the interval could be shortened or
lengthened; however, such a decision should be based on substantial quantitative data.
NOTE Before performing any tests, make extra copies of the calculation sheets and the
performance test record pertaining to the test procedure. These are required in the test
procedure. For explanation of how to use these records, see the calculation sheet and
performance test record at the end of this literature.
