Test 2-10: Spurious/Non-Harmonic Distortion (cont’d)
Test Procedure
(cont’d)

Perform steps 3 and 4 for each frequency range listed in Table 2-10:

3. Set the Spectrum Analyzer start frequency and stop frequency to the

values listed in Table 2-10.

4. Measure the amplitude (in dBm) of the highest peak. Subtract the

amplitude of the fundamental (-5dBm) from the read ing a nd r e co rd

the result in Table 2-11:

result (dBc) = reading (dBm) (−5 dBm)
