6. Select \Fractional-N Adjustments" from the performance tests main menu.
7. For each API adjustment, the program shows spurs three times, once for each fractional-N
VCO frequency. o minimize the spur, adjust the potentiometers shown in Figure 2-5.
You may have to compromise the three dierent adjustments of the same pot to achieve
the best overall results.
Generally, the API #1 spur is the worst. When adjusting the API #2 and API #4 spurs, their
amplitude may be so low that they are not visible.
