FM Deviation Accuracy
Rate: 1 kHz - 1 MHz, 
Deviation: 1 - 100 kHz
a
a. For optimum measurement of rate and deviation, ensure that the channel bandwidth is set wide enough 
to capture the significant RF energy (as visible in the RF Spectrum window). Setting the channel 
bandwidth too wide will result in measurement errors.
±(1% of (rate + deviation) + 
20 Hz) (nominal)
FM Rate Accuracy
Rate: 1 kHz - 1 MHz
ab
b. Rate accuracy at high channel bandwidths assumes that the deviation is sufficiently large to overcome 
channel noise.
±0.2 Hz (nominal)
Carrier Frequency Error ±0.5 Hz (nominal) 
Assumes signal still visible in 
channel BW with offset
Carrier Power ±0.85 dB (nominal)
