< -57dBc
< -48dBc; where channel spurious and noise includes all discrete spurious,
noise, carrier leakage, clock lines, synthesizer products, and other undesired
transmitter products. Noise within +/- 50kHz of the carrier is excluded.
< -58 dBc in 750 kHz
< -62 dBc, in 5.25 MHz, excluding up to 3 spurs, each of which must be
<-60 dBc when measured in a 10 kHz band
Less than the greater of -65 dBc or -12dBmV in 6MHz, excluding up to three
discrete spurs. The total power in the spurs must be < -60dBc when each is
measured with 10 kHz bandwidth.
< -12dBmV in each 6 MHz channel, excluding up to three discrete spurs. The
total power in the spurs must be < -60dBc when each is measured with
10kHz bandwidth.
