AM noise
These specifications apply for +10 dBm output power. All noise levels are in
dBc/Hz.
Mixing spurious
• < 6 GHz: less than –60 dBc, with the exceptions shown in Table 11.
• > 6 GHz: less than –70 dBc
Table 11 shows the ranges in which a mixing spur occurs at less than or equal
to 40 MHz from the carrier signal.
AM noise supplemental characteristics
LO feedthrough 430 to 480 MHz offset below carrier is less than –50 dBc
typical.

NOTE
AM noise specifications at any offset can be determined by drawing a line between
specification points given on a dB-versus-log frequency plot.
