- Close to measurable limit

Figure 24 - Spurious performance at 1776.384 MHz -70.0 dBc

Figure 25 - Phase noise performance; C/N= -80.5 dBc/Hz, maximum within loop bandwidth

Figure 26 - Phase noise performance @ Δ f= 1 MHz from carrier; C/N= -139.3 dBc/Hz ⇔ -146.3 dBm/Hz

Figure 27 - Phase noise performance @ Δ f= 10 MHz from carrier; C/N= -147.6 dBc/Hz « -154.6 dBm/Hz (close to measurable limit)

Figure 28 - Hopping time 388µs for frequency step 1769.472MHz → 1785.024MHz (Measurement triggered 100µs after PLL was programmed, therefore the marker readout shown on top is 100µs longer than the actual hopping time)

Figure 29 - Hopping time 427µs for frequency step 1785.024MHz → 1769.472MHz (Measurement triggered 100µs after PLL was programmed, therefore the marker readout shown on top is 100µs longer than the actual hopping time)
