IQS-12004B

Channel Crosstalk (dB)

The software calculates the worst-case crosstalk, which is the smallest
difference in IL between two intervals on the main channel curve (BW1

main

and BW1

interf

).

³

IL

max

is the highest loss on the main channel curve in the BW1

main

interval.

³

IL

min

is the lowest loss on the main channel curve in the BW1

interf

interval.

Note: Measurements are taken between all bandpass channels, not only

adjacent channels.
