Offset
An offset to the displayed IF output power may be entered from -99.0 to +99.0 dB, in
0.1 dB steps.
A.5.17
Modulator I / Q Imbalance
• The modulator will have less than 4° RMS phase error.
• The modulator will have less than 0.25 dB amplitude imbalance
.
A.5.18
Modulator Output Noise Floor
The Modulator Output Noise Floor shall be -130dBc/Hz (20 MHz from carrier).
A.5.19
Modulator Spectrum Rotation
The operator can select Normal or Inverted spectrum of the Modulator Output.
A.5.20
Modulator Output Return Loss
• Carrier Frequency < 1350 MHz: > 14dB at 50Ω 950 to 1350 MHz
• Carrier Frequency > 1350 MHz: > 14dB at 50Ω 1350 to 1750 MHz
A.5.21
L-Band ODU Reference Signal
The IDU shall provide a synthesizer reference on the center conductor of the
L-Band output connector. The signal will be 10 MHz with a stability of

Modulator Transmit IF Test Modes
The following TX IF test modes are available to the operator. Spurious emissions in the
following test modes will be
≤ -30 dBc.
• CW: Outputs a single carrier at the defined frequency
• Offset: Single sideband signal with one sideband suppressed ≤ -25 dBc and carrier
suppressed
≤ -35 dBc (harmonics of modulation rate are present).
• Dual sideband: Suppressed carrier ≤ -35 dBc
