Accuracy Formats other than FSK, 8/16VSB, 16/32 APSK,
and OQPSK; Conditions: Full scale signal, fully
contained in the measurement span, frequency <
3.6 GHz, random data sequence, range ≥ –30
dBm, start frequency ≥ 15% of span, alpha/BT ≥
0.3 (0.3 to 0.7 for OQPSK), and symbol rate ≥
1 kHz. For symbol rates < 1 kHz, accuracy may be
limited by phase noise. Averaging = 10
