Safety Notes
The following safety notes are used throughout this manual. Familiarize yourself with each of
the notes and its meaning before operating this instrument.
Caution
Caution denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure that, if not
correctly performed or adhered to, would result in damage to or destruction
of the instrument. Do not proceed beyond a caution sign until the indicated
conditions are fully understood and met.
Caution
Always use the three-prong ac power cord supplied with this instrument.
Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not using this cord may cause
instrument damage.
Warning
Warning denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure which, if not
correctly performed or adhered to, could result in injury or loss of life.
Do not proceed beyond a warning note until the indicated conditions are
fully understood and met.
Warning
No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
warning
For continued protection against fire hazard replace line fuse only with
same type and rating (F 3A/250V). The use of other fuses or material is
prohibited.
Warning
This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be
inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any
interruption of the protective conductor, inside or outside the instrument,
is likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.
Warning
The power cord is connected to internal capacitors that may remain live
for 10 seconds after disconnecting the plug from its power supply.
warning
The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose dangerous
voltages. Disconnect the instrument from all voltage sources while it is
being opened.

System Verification and
Performance Tests
There are two ways to confirm that the HP 8753E network analyzer is able to make
measurements as specified by Hewlett-Packard. Both ways are described in this chapter.
The first way is through the system verification procedure. With system verification, the
performance of the network analyzer is confirmed as a complete measurement system. The
network analyzer is used to measure the traceable behavior of test devices that are part of
a verification kit. All the measurement uncertainties of the network analyzer, taken as a
measurement system, have been accounted for in the serialized data disk shipped with the
verification Kit.
The specified performance of the network analyzer can also be confirmed using the series
of performance tests described in this chapter. Successful completion of an individual test
confirms the specified performance of the specific subsystem tested, such as the source or
receiver. Successful completion of the whole series of performance tests confirms the specified
performance of the network analyzer as a complete measurement system.
System Verification and
Performance Tests

How to Test the Performance of Your Analyzer o
To obtain the same quality of performance testing that Hewlett-Packard has administered at the —
factory, you must perform: |
u the system verification procedure
OR
u all of the performance test procedures.
This quality of performance testing guarantees that the analyzer is performing within all of
the published specifications. Hewlett-Packard will issue a Certificate of Calibration for your
analyzer if two conditions are met:
1. Your analyzer passes all the performed tests. —
2. The equipment and standards that you used to perform the tests are traceable to a national
standards institute.
Note If you have a particular type of measurement application that does not
use all of the analyzer's measurement capabilities, you may ask your local
Hewlett-Packard Customer Service Center for a subset of specifications that
you Want verified. However, this does create a potential for making incorrect
measurements, by using a different application than what was specified.

System Verification Cycle and Kit Re-certification
Hewlett-Packard recommends that you verify your network analyzer measurement system
every six months. Hewlett-Packard also suggests that you get your verification kit re-certified
annually. Refer to HP 85029B 7-mm Verification Kit Operating and Service Manual for more
information.
Note The system verification procedures can also apply to analyzers with Option 075
(75 ohm analyzers) if minimum loss pads and type-N (m) to APC-7 adapters are
used.
Check to see how the verification kit floppy disk is labeled:
a If your verification disk is labeled HP 8753D Verification Data Disk, or
HP 8753D & HP 8753E Verification Data Disk, you may proceed with the system
verification.
m If your verification disk is not labeled as indicated above, you may send your HP 85029B

In Case of Difficulty
1. If any measured frequency is close to the specification limits, check the time base accuracy
of the counter used.
2. If the analyzer fails by a significant margin at all frequencies (especially if the deviation
increases with frequency), the master time base probably needs adjustment. In this case,
refer to the “Frequency Accuracy Adjustment” procedure, located in the “Adjustments and

Performance Tests
Note
The HP 8496A step attenuator (Option 001, H18) comes with a special
calibration that supports the measurement uncertainties expressed in the test
record for this performance test.
The special calibration consists of two measurements. The first is a
measurement of the attenuation at each step. The data reported for this
measurement have the following uncertainites:
= +0.006 dB from 0 to 40 dB
m +0.015 dB from >40 to 80 dB
a +0.025 dB from >80 to 90 dB
m +0.05 dB >90 dB
The second calibration measurement characterizes match stability between
attenuator settings for each attenuator port. The vector difference of Si;
or (S22) between the reference attenuation step and all the other steps is
measured. The magnitude of this difference is certified to be <0.0316 (>30 dB).
Note
The HP 8496A used for this test will have known attenuator errors for
attenuations up to 100 dB using a test frequency of 30 MHz. The attenuation
used as a reference is 0 dB. If the available calibration data is not expressed
as attenuation errors, it can be converted to such a form by the following
equation:
(actual attenuation) — (expected attenuation) = attenuator error
Actual attenuation values that are greater than the expected attenuation
values will result in positive errors. Actual attenuation values that are less than
the expected attenuation values will result in negative errors.
60 System Verification and
Performance Tests
e
Initial Calculations
1. Fill in the attenuator error values (referenced to 0 dB attenuation) in Table 1-1 by referring
to the calibration data for the HP 8496A step-attenuator. Refer to the note on the previous
page.
a. Find the column in the HP 8496A attenuation error table that pertains to the
attenuation errors for 30 MHz.
b. Starting with the “10 dB” step in this column, write down the value in the
corresponding space in Table 1-1 for column “B.” This value should be placed in the row
for the 10 dB HP 8496A setting.
с. Continue transferring the remaining values of the HP 8496A attenuation errors to
column “B” in Table 1-1.
2. In Table 1-1, transfer the 10 dB error value located within the parenthesis in column “B” to
each space column “C.”

. The values in column “D” result from changing the reference attenuation of the calibration
data of the HP 8496A to 10 dB.
Calculate the attenuation error values for this column by subtracting the values in column
“C” from the values in column “B” (B — C = D).
. The values in column “F” result from correcting the expected measurement value by the
amount of attenuator error.
Calculate the values in this column by subtracting the values in column “D” from the
values in column “E” (E — D = F).
5. Transfer the values from column “F” in Table 1-1 to column “F” in the “Performance Test
Record” for both test ports.
