Technique

The measurements of the key system performance parameters are per-
formed using the ANRITSU 37XXX Test Software, PN: 2300-178.

NOTE

The Standard Conditions and Special Precautions de-
scribed in paragraph 4-2 should be observed when per-
forming these measurements.

The software will use the following standards to determine system per-
formance values:
