Accuracy
Calibrator Power Uncertainty
(at 0 dBm):
The uncertainty of microwave power measurements depends on
several factors, the most important is the effective mismatch of
both the power detector and the RF source. Excluding mismatch
effects, the measurement uncertainties of the instrument and its
power detectors are as follows:
±1.5% (0.065 dBm)
Linearity after Automatic
Calibration:
±3% (at stable temperature)
Temperature coefficient of
linearity at ambien t±5 °C, CW
and Peak, typical: >-10 dBm negligible, 0 to 50 °C
