Signal Quality:

Low single-sideband phase noise: Typical value -120 dBc

(Condition: 10 GHz; 10 kHz carrier offset; 1 Hz measurement bandwidth)

Utilize the option R&S?SMF-B22 to enhance near-field phase noise performance (f = 10 GHz; offset 10 Hz; measurement bandwidth 1 Hz; -65 dBc [with R&S?SMF-B22; -57 dBc]).

Low broadband noise: Typical value at 10 GHz is <-148 dBc

(>10 MHz carrier offset; 1 Hz measurement bandwidth; at +10 dBm)

Ultra-low Harmonics: Typical value <-55 dBc at 10 GHz (+10 dBm)

Non-harmonic suppression: At 10 GHz

The typical value is <-62>3 kHz carrier offset; at +10 dBm.
