Technical Datasheet Scalar Network Analyzer Model 8003 - 10 MHz to 40 GHz The Giga-tronics Model 8003 Precision Scalar Network Analyzer combines a 90 dB wide dynamic range with the accuracy and linearity of a power meter in a signal instrument.

8003 Precision Scalar Network Analyzer Wide Dynamic Range Absolute Power Measurements The Model 8003 Precision Scalar Network Analyzer can make accurate, single sensor power measurements over a frequency range of 10 MHz to 40 GHz with a dynamic range of –70 to +20 dBm. The same built-in calibrator that linearizes the sensor provides a 1 mW signal accurate to within ±0.7%, stable over temperature and time, and traceable to NIST. Each Giga tronics power sensor contains an EEPROM programmed with the frequency calibration factors measured at the factory, or in your Cal Lab. When you key in the...

8003 Precision Scalar Network Analyzer Cursor: The cursor can be positioned with the tuning knob or via the numeric keypad. The frequency and amplitude test data at the cursor on all active channels is digitally displayed. Cursor Delta: Displays differences in dB and frequency between the reference cursor and the main cursor. Cursor Min/Max: Automatically moves the cursor to the minimum or maximum value of test data. Cursor "x" dB: Automatically moves the cursor to the point on the trace equal to the value of "x" in dB or dBm. Cursor "x" Bandwidth: Automatically displays cursors right and...

Reflection Measurements: When measuring devices with high return loss (>10 dB), reflection accuracy is typically dominated by the effective system directivity (Fig. 2), instrument linearity errors, and noise uncertainty. With low return loss devices (<10 dB), reflection accuracy is typically dominated by source match (Fig. 3). Calibration with an open and short effectively removes uncertainties due to frequency response of the source, sensors, and signal splitting device. Figure 2 Reflection Uncertainly versus Directivity Reflection Accuracy = Instrument Accuracy + Reflection Bridge...

8003 Precision Scalar Network Analyzer Absolute Power Measurement Accuracy: The absolute power measurement accuracy is determined by a number of factors including calibrator accuracy, noise, sensor calibration factor error, and the mismatch uncertainty between sensor and device under test. Calibrator: Provides a 50 MHz calibration signal at 51 very accurately controlled levels from +20 to -30 dBm to dynamically linearize the sensors. Calibrator Frequency: 50 MHz nominal Temperature Coefficient of Linearity: < 0.3%/°C temperature change after calibration Zeroing Accuracy, (CW Mode, Averaging...
