1.This level of performance can be attained using the external I/Q inputs, provided the quality of the baseband signal meets or exceeds that of the ESG baseband generator.

2.Parentheses denote typical performance.

3.Specifications apply at power levels +4 dBm [+5 dBm for Option 506, and +8 dBm for Option UNB] with default scale factor of I/Q outputs.

4.Valid after executing I/Q calibration and maintained within +/- 5 °C of the calibration temperature.

5.ACP for TETRA is measured over a 25 kHz bandwidth, with an 18 kHz root raised cosine filter. Low ACP mode is valid at power levels –1 dBm [1 dBm for Option 506 and +4 dBm for Option UNB].

6.Specifications apply for the symbol rates, filter, filter factors [a or BbT] and default scaling factor specified for each standard, and at power levels +7 dBm [+10 dBm for Option UNB].

7.The “channel spacing” determines the offset size of the adjacent and alternate channels: Adjacent channel offset = 1 x channel spacing, 1st alternate channel = 2 x channel spacing, 2nd alternate channel = 3 x channel spacing, etc.
