a. Large signals, even at frequencies not shown on the screen, can cause the analyzer to mismeasure
on-screen signals because of two-tone gain compression. This specification tells how large an interfer-
ing signal must be in order to cause a 1 dB change in an on-screen signal.
b. Total power at the preamp (dBm) = total power at the input (dBm)
− input attenuation (dB).
