System performance summary
HP 8753E (50-ohm systems) 3.5-mm test ports
1. 90 dB, 30 kHz to 50 kHz.
2. 100 dB, 300 kHz to 16 MHz due to fixed spurs.
3. These measurement uncertainty curves utilize an RSS model for the contribution of random
errors such as noise, typical connector repeatabilities, and test set switch; with a worst-case
model for the contributions of dynamic accuracy and residual systematic errors.
4. The graphs shown for reflection measurements apply to either a one-port device or a two-port
device with more than 6 dB insertion loss.
5. Typical below 300 kHz.
The following specifications describe the system perfor-
mance of the HP 8753E network analyzer with an
integrated 50-ohm S-parameter test set configuration.
System hardware includes the following:
Network analyzer HP 8753E Option 006
Calibration kit HP 85033D
Test-port cables HP 11857D
Dynamic range
These specifications apply to transmission measurements
in the 30 kHz to 6 GHz frequency range at 10 Hz IF BW
with full two-port error correction. Dynamic range is limit-
ed by maximum receiver input level and the receiver’s
noise floor.

Measurement port characteristics
The following specifications show the residual HP 8753E
system uncertainties for corrected performance after
accuracy enhancement using full two-port error correc-
tion. These characteristics apply for an environmental
temperature of 25 ± 5° C, with less than 1° C deviation
from the calibration temperature.
