SPECTRAL PURITY
Harmonics: (at 1 volt, +13 dBm, output range and
below)
>35 dB below fundamental of 0.5 to 128 MHz.
>30 dB below fundamental of 128 to 512 MHz.
Subharmonics and Nonharmonic Spurious:
(excluding frequencies within 15 kHz of carrier
whose effects are specified in Residual AM and
FM): >100 dB below carrier.
Noise: Averaged rms noise level below carrier stated in
a 1 Hz bandwidth.
SSB Phase Noise at 20 kHz offset from carrier.
(See Figures 1-2 and 1-3.)
256 MHz to 512 MHz: >130 dB from 230 to 450
MHz increasing linearly to >122 dB down at
550 MHz.
0.5 MHz to 256 MHz: Decreases approximately
6 dB for each divided frequency range until
it reaches SSB Broadband Noise Floor of
>140 dB.
SSB Broadband Noise Floor at maximum vernier
greater than 500 kHz offset from carrier. (See
Figures 1-2 and 1-3.) 0.5 to 512 MHz: >140 dB.

Note: Residual FM decreases by approximately 1/2 for
each divided frequency range until limited by broadband
noise floor. This limit for 300 Hz to 3 kHz is about 1 Hz,
and for 20 Hz to 15 kHz is about 4 Hz. These are
measured values in the 230 to 550 MHz range and
calculated for divided ranges, knowing the noise
distribution.
OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
Range: 10 dB steps and 18 dB vernier provide output
power settings from +19 to -145 dBm (2V to 0.013µ)
into 50Ω.
Level Flatness: <±0.5 dB from 0.5 to 512 MHz referred
to output at 50 MHz. (Flatness applies to +13 to -7
dBm and for top 10 dB of vernier range.)

These specifications are given for the 8640B internal reference. When using an external reference, drift in the
locked mode will depend on the external reference characteristics.
