Agilent/HP 8970B Noise Figure Meter

Agilent/HP / Noise Figure Meter / 8970B

Noise Figure Measurement
Measurement range: 0 to 30 dB
Instrumentation uncertainty: ±0.1 dB
            (for a 14 to 16 dB ENR noise source in a 0 to 550C environment)
Resolution: 0.01 dB (0.001 dB over GPIB)

Gain measurement range:
Measurement range: -20 to >+40 dB
                   (for DUT and system noise figures totalling 30 dB or less)
Instrumentation uncertainty: ±0.15 dB.
Resolution: Gain >-9.99 dB: 0.01 dB
            Gain <-9.99 dB: 0.1 dB
            (over GPIB: add 1 more digit to above)

Input Specifications
Frequency range: tunable from 10 to 1600 MHz (10 to 2047 MHz with option 020).
Tuning accuracy (for 10 to 400C):±(1 MHz + 1% of frequency); 6 MHz maximum.
Frequency resolution: 1 MHz
Noise figure (for input power levels below -60 dBm):
<7 dB + 0.003 dB/MHz (<7 dB +0.002 dB/MHz with option 020).
Input SWR, 50 ohm reference impendence:
<1.7 10 MHz to 1600 MHz; (<1.8 with option 020).
<2.0 1600 MHz to 2047 MHz - (option 020 only)
Maximum operating input power: -10 dBm.
Maximum net external gain: >65 dB between noise source and HP 8970B RF input.
