1. Time from trigger input to frequency and amplitude settled within limits given below with digital modulation on and channel corrections enabled.

Specifications are for amplitudes lower than +17 dBm and using an M9036A embedded controller in an M9018A chassis.

2 . Baseband offset frequency settled within 100 Hz. Baseband offset can be adjusted ± from carrier frequency within limits determined by RF

modulation bandwidth. Synthesizer frequency and amplitude are not changing and ALC off.

3 . Carrier frequency settled within 1 ppm or 1 kHz, whichever is greater, and amplitude settled within 0.2 dB (within the controlled temperature range) or

within 0.5 dB (at the full temperature range). For frequency changes ≥ 1.6 GHz at carriers ≥ 3.2 GHz nominal frequency settling time within

± 0.05% of final frequency is 125 µs. Simultaneous carrier frequency and amplitude switching.

4 . Frequency bands: One (1 to 400 MHz); Two (> 400 to < 750 MHz); Three (≥ 750 to < 1500 MHz); Four (≥ 1500 to < 3000 MHz);

Five (≥ 3000 to 6000 MHz).

5 . Mean time from IVI command to carrier frequency settled within 1 ppm or 1 kHz whichever is greater and amplitude settled within 0.2 dB.

Simultaneous carrier frequency and amplitude switching.
