10. Compare each value calculated in step 9 to the limits in Table 5, and compare only the ISR 

values calculated for offset frequencies between -10 MHz and 10 MHz in step 4 to the 
limits in Table 6.

Note

Values calculated for offset frequencies less than -10 MHz and greater than 

10 MHz are not specified and do not have test limits.

11. Repeat steps 4 through 10 for each LO frequency in Table 5.

If the results are within the selected test limit, the device has passed this portion of the 
verification.
