Performance Tests
The procedures in this chapter test the Agilent 86120B’s performance using
the specifications listed in Chapter 7, “Specifications and Regulatory Informa-
tion” as the performance standard. All of the tests are done manually without
the aid of a computer. None of these tests require access to the interior of the
instrument.
Test 1. Absolute Wavelength Accuracy
Test 2. Sensitivity
Test 3. Polarization Dependence
Test 4. Optical Input Return Loss
Test 5. Amplitude Accuracy and Linearity
Allow the Agilent 86120B to warm up for 15 minutes before doing any of the
performance tests.
Calibration Cycle
This instrument requires periodic verification of performance. The instrument
should have a complete verification of specifications once every two years.
