6. Definition of conditions
Technical specification: Indicates guaranteed product performance for ambient temperature range,
unless otherwise stated.
Typical value: Indicates typical performance at room temperature (approx. 25°C) for 80% of the test
results with a 95% confidence level. The data is not guaranteed and does not include measurement
uncertainty.
Nominal value: Indicates the expected average performance or the performance characteristics ofthe design, e.g. 50 Ω connector. The data is not guaranteed and is obtained from measurements atroom temperature (approx. 25°C) and does not include measurement uncertainty.

7. Operating temperature
The temperature of the electronic calibrator must be within the following temperature range in order
to meet the operating specifications.
SEM5000A series: +15°C to +35°C and relative humidity must not exceed 75%.

8. Characteristic performance
The characteristic properties of ECal modules in Table 8-1 below, which mainly describes the residualerrors in the different operating bands of the electronic calibrators.1

1. When the input power is greater than 10dBm, the calibration will be worse compared to the data shown in Table 8-1 above.
2. The model number of the vector network analyser used for this measurement data is SNA5082X.

59. Connecting and disconnecting ECal module
The ECal module is connected to the vector network analyser via a USB cable (supplied as anaccessory) and the vector network analyser then provides control and power via the USB cable. Whenconnecting the electronic calibrator to the vector network analyser, the vector network analyser willautomatically recognise the calibrator type, frequency range and connector type.
The specific connections are shown in Figure 9–1 below.

When the connection is completed if the WAIT indicator (red) lights on, it means that the ECal module
has not reached the normal operating temperature and needs to wait until the ECal reaches thenormal operating temperature before it can be used; if the READY indicator (green) lights on, it meansthat the ECal module has reached the normal operating temperature and can be used normally.
Disconnect: Simply disconnect the USB cable to stop the ECal module from working. Then simply
disconnect the RF connector at ports A, B, C and D.
