1. The system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the noise floor and the specified
source maximum output power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties
and interfering signals into account.
2. May be degraded by 10 dB at particular frequencies (multiples of 5 MHz) below 500 MHz due to
spurious receiver residuals. Methods are available to regain the full dynamic range.
