This is a subset of technical specifications for the N5230A network analyzer. To view or print the N5230A technical specifications, visit our web site at www.agilent.com/find/pnal This N5230A document provides technical specifications for the following calibration kits and ECal modules only: 85052B, 85056A, 85032B, N4691A, and N4693A. Please download our free Uncertainty Calculator from www.agilent.com/find/na_calculator to generate the curves for your calibration kit and PNA setup. Definitions All specifications and characteristics apply over a 25 °C ±5 °C range (unless otherwise stated) and 90 minutes after the instrument has been turned on. Specification (spec.): Warranted performance. Specifications include guardbands to account for the expected statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to environmental conditions. Characteristic (char.): A performance parameter that the product is expected to meet before it leaves the factory, but that is not verified in the field and is not covered by the product warranty. A characteristic includes the same guardbands as a specification. Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average unit which does not include guardbands. It is not covered by the product warranty. Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance. It is not covered by the product warranty. Calibration: The process of measuring known standards to characterize a network analyzer's systematic (repeatable) errors. Corrected (residual): Indicates performance after error correction (calibration). It is determined by the quality of calibration standards and how well "known" they are, plus system repeatability, stability, and noise. Uncorrected (raw): Indicates instrument performance without error correction. The uncorrected performance affects the stability of a calibration. Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes no options unless noted otherwise.

• 10 Hz IF bandwidth
• No averaging applied to data
• Isolation calibration with an averaging factor of 8
