Product Dimensions: Width X Height X Depth = 361.6 mm x 178.8 mm x 128 mm
The ability to measure smaller signals: on the basis of this technology, the IF lter enables smaller bandwidth settings,
which greatly reduce the displayed average noise level.
The ability to distinguish between small signals by frequency: using the IF lter with the smallest bandwidth setting, it
is possible to make out signals with a frequency difference of only 10 Hz.
High precision amplitude readings: this technology almost eliminates the errors generated by lter switching,
reference level uncertainty, scale distortion, as well as errors produced in the process of switching between logarithmic
and linear display of amplitude when using a traditional analog IF design.
Higher reliability: compared with traditional analog designs, the digital IF greatly reduces the complexity of the
hardware, the system instability caused by channel aging, and the temperature sensitivity that can contribute to parts
failure.
High measurement speed: the use of digital IF technology improves the bandwidth precision and selectivity of the
lter, minimizing the scanning time and improving the speed of the measurement.

Specications are valid under the following conditions: the instrument is within the calibration period, is stored for at least two hours at 0 ℃
to 50 ℃ temperature, and is warmed up for 40 minutes. Unless otherwise noted, the specications in this manual include the measurement
uncertainty.
Typical (typ.): characteristic performance, which 80 percent of the measurement results will meet at room temperature (approximately 25℃). This data is not
warranted and does not include the measurement uncertainty.
Nominal (nom.): the expected mean or average performance or a designed attribute (such as the 50 Ω connector). This data is not warranted and is measured at
room temperature (approximately 25℃).
Measured (meas.): an attribute measured during the design phase which can be compared to the expected performance, such as the amplitude drift variation with
time. This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately 25℃).
NOTE: All charts in this manual are the measurement results of multiple instruments at room temperature unless otherwise noted. The specications (except the
TG specications) listed in this manual are those when the tracking generator is off.
