1.  Wide capture mode is available for 250 MHz to 7 GHz only
2.  Phase noise uncertainty: specified at 10 MHz and 1 GHz of carrier frequency with 0 dBm level. PN level > –60 dBc
3.  Segment PN mode is available with the firmware revision 3.20 or later. In this datasheet, specification of phase noise sensitivity, residual spurious response
level and measurement time are applicable to the regular PN mode. In the segment PN mode, number of these parameters depend on the measurement
setting. For more detail, refer to the user’s manual.
