Per INTELSAT IESS-308 (0.35) or 0.20 (for use with closer adjacent channel spacing) V.35 or synchronous

50 to 90, 100 - 180 MHz, 100 Hz resolution (70/140 MHz IF)

950 to 1950 MHz, 100 Hz resolution (L-Band)

Stability ± 1 ppm, 0 to 50oC (32 o to 122 oF) (standard low-stability internal reference) Stability ± 0.1 ppm, 0 to 50oC (32 o to 122 oF) (Optional high-stability internal reference) Stability ± 0.1 ppm, 0 to 50oC (32 o to 122 oF) (standard reference for L-Band)

1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 MHz @ 0 dBm to +20 dBm. Internal reference phase locks to external reference.

Greater than -55 dBc/4 kHz (typically <-60 dBC/4kHz) – measured from 25 to 400 MHz (70/140MHz IF)

Greater than -55 dBc/4 kHz (typically <-60 dBC/4kHz) – measured from 500 to 2500 MHz (L-Band)

Spurious measured relative to an unmodulated (CW) carrier 55 dB minimum

< 0.480rms double sided, 100 Hz to 1MHz

(minimum of 10 dB better overall than the INTELSAT IESS-308/309 requirement) -5 to -25 dBm, 0.1 dB steps (70/140MHz IF)

-5 to -45 dBm, 0.1 dB steps (L-Band).

Refer to Automatic Uplink Power Control section.
