Agilent Technologies E6630A User manual

Data Sheet
The Agilent Technologies E6630A wireless connectivity test set integrates up to two vector signal
analyzers, and two vector signal generators in a single PXI frame, creating a one-box tester that
accelerates your wireless connectivity devices time to market with fast and accurate RF test for
802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN, Bluetooth®1.0 to 4.0, and GNSS.

Specification
Specifications describe the performance parameters covered by the product warranty and are
valid only at room temperature (approximately 25 °C) unless otherwise noted. Warranted speci-
fications indicate the breadth of the population (≈2 σ) of performance tolerances expected to be
met in 95 percent of the cases with a 95 percent confidence. Data represented in this document
are specifications unless otherwise noted.
Typical
Typical describes additional product performance information that is not covered by the product
warranty. It is performance beyond specifications that 95 percent of the units exhibit with a 95
percent confidence level. This data, shown in italics, does not include measurement uncertainty
and is valid only at room temperature (approximately 25 °C).
Nominal
Nominal values indicate expected performance, or describe product performance that is useful
in the application of the product, such as a 50-Ω connector. This data is not warranted and is
measured at room temperature (approximately 25 °C).
The test set will meet its specification when:
• The test set is within its calibration cycle
• The test set has been turned on for at least 30 minutes
Recommended best practices in use
At environment temperatures above 45 °C, chassis fan should be set to high.
