To Create a Sloping Limit Line

155 MHz with a beginning level of −35 dB and an ending level of −3 dB.

Figure 4-16, “Limit Lines,” shows limit lines that dictate the specified

analyzer and tuned so that its response was within the created limit
lines. The pass/fail indicator gives constant feedback regarding test
status.
