1. Group delay is computed by measuring the phase change within a specified step (determined by the frequency span and the number of points per sweep).
The following graph shows group delay accuracy with type-N connectors, full 2-port
calibration and a 10 Hz IF bandwidth.
– Calibration kit (85032F).
– Insertion loss is assumed to be < 2 dB.
In general, the following formula can be used to determine the accuracy, in seconds, of a
specific group delay measurement:
± phase accuracy (degrees)/[360 x aperture (Hz)]
