Only feature additions beyond the E6890A General Purpose Application are included in this document. Specifications describe the test set’s warranted performance and are valid for the unit’s operation within ±10 °C of the last self alignment. All specifications are valid after a 30-minute warm-up period of continuous operation with valid self alignment. If the instrument has been off for longer than 48 hours, a 48-hour warm-up period followed by self alignment is required. Supplemental characteristics are intended to provide typical, but non-warranted, performance parameters that may be useful in applying the instrument. These characteristics are shown in italics and labeled as “typical.” All units shipped from the factory meet these typical numbers at +25 °C ambient temperature without including measurement uncertainty.

The device must operate in a test mode, which forces it to transmit a predefined series of power steps at various uplink frequencies, and also forces it to simultaneously tune its receiver to perform measurements (such as RSSI) of the test set’s signal at various downlink frequencies and power levels.
