(return loss) (all 4 ports)
1. Deviation from a least-squares-straight-line fit, excluding noise and slope. Ratio measurement of any two ports.
2. Slope of least-squares-straight-line fit over full frequency range.
3. Uncorrected port to port crosstalk with averaging factor of 1024.
4. Trace noise, sweep to sweep variation.
5. 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 factory: 10 log (average factor).
6. See figures on page 2-3.
7. Do not exceed −5 dBm input to sampler for proper phase lock operation.
8. Tested with sampler in non-conducting state. When diodes are turned on by the LO pulse, they present a short circuit across the sampler input port.
This may affect the measured data.

Specifications and Characteristics

Specifications and characteristics differ as defined in the
Table 2-2 on page 2-2. Both are based on certain operating conditions. Those
conditions are defined in
Specifications describe the warranted performance of the instrument. To
verify the specifications follow the Agilent 8511A/B and Antenna
Measurement System Performance Verification Software assembly
documentation. Characteristics provide information useful in applying the
instrument by giving typical but non-warranted performance parameters.
