The two-way radio (LMR/PMR) industry has always had very demanding requirements for RX adjacent channel rejection specifications. The limiting case for adj-ch rejection often comes down to the PN of the RX LO and the PN of a transmitter in the adj-ch.
Some vendors sold sig gens targeted and built for this market and the required performance. -Brian, WA1ZMS > On Jan 1, 2019, at 6:29 PM, Brooke Clarke <bro...@pacific.net> wrote: > > Hi Mark: > > It's not clear to me why pager testing requires such good phase noise.
