The user then enters a num/- correction factor in the box under 

Antenna CF

 as shown, and the 

(Antenna) Signal Strength 

now reads the RF signal level that represents the signal level at the antenna. 

In  the  Figure  4-13  example,  the 

(Absolute)  Signal  Strength

  is  -61  dBm,  and  the 

(Antenna)  Signal 

Strength

 is -41 dBm, taking into account a loss of -20 dBm between the antenna and receiver.

IF Filter Bandwidth Selection and Control

 

 
The receiver provides for 28 user-selectable IF SAW filters (14 IFBW values from 300 kHz to 40 MHz. In 
addition, 15 IF FIR filters are presented to the user as a function of the data rate and demodulator format.  
This means that a different set of 15 IF FIR filters are made available to the user for every data rate entered. 
An AUTO Select feature is also available as described in the following paragraphs.
