tation is referred to as the operating voltage window (some manufacturers also use
the less precise term "common mode range" for the same parameter).
If one of these ranges is exceeded, an unwanted signal clipping may occur.

(e.g. R&S RT-ZHD15)
The dependencies of dynamic range, operating voltage window and attenuation ratio
are shown in Figure 3-2. The dynamic range between the positive and negative signal
pins depends on the selected attenuation. The operating voltage window between
each of the signal pins and common ground is not affected by the attenuation.
The Figure 3-3 shows several examples for permissible and impermissible inputs.
