Agilent E4403B Specifications and Characteristics  
About This Chapter  
About This Chapter  
This chapter contains specifications and characteristics for the Agilent  
E4403B spectrum analyzer. The distinction between specifications and  
characteristics is described as follows.  
Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by  
the product warranty. (The temperature range is 0 °C to 55 °C,  
unless otherwise noted.)  
Characteristics describe product performance that is useful in the  
application of the product, but is not covered by the product  
warranty.  
Typical performance describes additional product performance  
information that is not covered by the product warranty. It is  
performance beyond specification that 80% of the units exhibit with  
a 95% confidence level over the temperature range 20 to 30 °C.  
Typical performance does not include measurement uncertainty.  
Nominal values indicate the expected performance, or describe  
product performance that is useful in the application of the product,  
but is not covered by the product warranty.  
The following conditions must be met for the analyzer to meet its  
specifications.  
o The analyzer is within the one year calibration cycle.  
o If Auto Align All is selected:  
— After 2 hours of storage within the operating temperature range.  
— 5 minutes after the analyzer is turned on with sweep times less  
than 4 seconds.  
— After the front-panel amplitude reference is connected to the  
INPUT, and Align Now RF has been run, after the analyzer is  
turned on. And, once every 24 hours, or if ambient temperature  
changes more than 30 °C.

About This Chapter  
o If Auto Align Off is selected:  
When the analyzer is at a constant temperature, within the  
operating temperature range, for a minimum of 90 minutes.  
After the analyzer is turned on for a minimum of 90 minutes, the  
front panel amplitude reference has been connected to the  
INPUT, and Align Now All has been run.  
When Align Now All is run:  
Every hour  
If the ambient temperature changes more than 3 °C  
If the 10 MHz reference changes  
When Align Now RF is run (with the front-panel amplitude  
reference connected to the INPUT):  
Every 24 hours  
If the ambient temperature changes more than 30 °C  
o If Auto Align All but RF is selected:  
When the analyzer is at a constant temperature, within the  
operating temperature range, for a minimum of 90 minutes.  
After the analyzer is turned on for a minimum of 90 minutes, the  
front panel amplitude reference has been connected to the  
INPUT, and Align Now RF has been run.  
When Align Now RF is run (with the front-panel amplitude  
reference connected to the INPUT):  
Every hour  
If the ambient temperature changes more than 3 °C

Agilent E4408B Specifications and Characteristics  
About This Chapter  
Ab ou t Th is Ch a p ter  
This chapter contains specifications and characteristics for the Agilent  
E4408B spectrum analyzer. The distinction between specifications and  
characteristics is described as follows.  
Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by  
the product warranty. (The temperature range is 0 °C to 55 °C,  
unless otherwise noted.)  
Characteristics describe product performance that is useful in the  
application of the product, but is not covered by the product  
warranty.  
Typical performance describes additional product performance  
information that is not covered by the product warranty. It is  
performance beyond specification that 80% of the units exhibit with  
a 95% confidence level over the temperature range 20 to 30 °C.  
Typical performance does not include measurement uncertainty.  
Nominal values indicate the expected performance, or describe  
product performance that is useful in the application of the product,  
but is not covered by the product warranty.  
The following conditions must be met for the analyzer to meet its  
specifications.  
o The analyzer is within the one year calibration cycle.  
o If Auto Align All is selected:  
After 2 hours of storage within the operating temperature range.  
5 minutes after the analyzer is turned on with sweep times less  
than 4 seconds.  
After the front-panel amplitude reference is connected to the  
INPUT, and Align Now RF has been run, after the analyzer is  
turned on. And, once every 24 hours, or if ambient temperature  
changes more than 30 °C.

About This Chapter  
o If Auto Align Off is selected:  
When the analyzer is at a constant temperature, within the  
operating temperature range, for a minimum of 90 minutes.  
After the analyzer is turned on for a minimum of 90 minutes, the  
front panel amplitude reference has been connected to the  
INPUT, and Align Now All has been run.  
When Align Now All is run:  
Every hour  
If the ambient temperature changes more than 3 °C  
If the 10 MHz reference changes  
When Align Now RF is run (with the front-panel amplitude  
reference connected to the INPUT):  
Every 24 hours  
If the ambient temperature changes more than 30 °C  
o If Auto Align All but RF is selected:  
When the analyzer is at a constant temperature, within the  
operating temperature range, for a minimum of 90 minutes.  
After the analyzer is turned on for a minimum of 90 minutes, the  
front panel amplitude reference has been connected to the  
INPUT, and Align Now RF has been run.  
When Align Now RF is run (with the front-panel amplitude  
reference connected to the INPUT):

Agilent E4411B Specifications and Characteristics  
About This Chapter  
Ab ou t Th is Ch a p ter  
This chapter contains specifications and characteristics for the Agilent  
E4411B spectrum analyzer. The distinction between specifications and  
characteristics is described as follows.  
Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by  
the product warranty. (The temperature range is 0 °C to 55 °C,  
unless otherwise noted.)  
Characteristics describe product performance that is useful in the  
application of the product, but is not covered by the product  
warranty.  
Typical performance describes additional product performance  
information that is not covered by the product warranty. It is  
performance beyond specification that 80% of the units exhibit with  
a 95% confidence level over the temperature range 20 to 30 °C.  
Typical performance does not include measurement uncertainty.  
Nominal values indicate the expected performance, or describe  
product performance that is useful in the application of the product,  
but is not covered by the product warranty.  
The following conditions must be met for the analyzer to meet its  
specifications.  
o The analyzer is within the one year calibration cycle.  
o If Auto Align All is selected:  
After 2 hours of storage within the operating temperature range.  
5 minutes after the analyzer is turned on with sweep times less  
than 4 seconds.  
o If Auto Align Off is selected:  
When the analyzer is at a constant temperature, within the  
operating temperature range, for a minimum of 90 minutes.  
After the analyzer is turned on for a minimum of 90 minutes and  
Align Now All has been run.  
When Align Now All is run:  
Every hour  
If the ambient temperature changes more than 3 °C  
If the 10 MHz reference changes

Radiated Immunity  
Testing was done at 3 V/m  
according to IEC 801-3/1984.  
When the analyzer tuned  
frequency is identical to the  
immunity test signal  
frequency, there may be  
signals of up to 60 dBm  
displayed on the screen.  
Electrostatic Discharge  
Air discharges of up to 8 kV  
were applied according to IEC  
801-2/1991. Discharges to  
center pins of any of the  
connectors may cause damage  
to the associated circuitry.
