aperture.
Accuracy
See graph below (typical)
The following graph shows group delay accuracy with 3.5 mm connectors, full 2-port calibration and a 10 Hz IF bandwidth.
– Calibration kit (85033E).
– Insertion loss is assumed to be < 2 dB.
– Source/Receiver: Standard Configuration, Source/Receiver Reference/Test Attenuator: 0 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)]
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).
