The spectrum of an Orion2 emitting a steady carrier.
The serial number is 09C1096 and the software version 2.37.
At a frequency offset of 50 kHz the Y-coordinate is 690.
This figure has 668 pixels for 100 dB and the following
results are obtained for the average power in 2.4 kHz bandwidth:
Offset dY dY Corrected dY
(kHz) (pixels) (dB) (dB)
0 0 0 0
5 627 93.8 94.0
10 618 92.5 93.0
15 607 90.9 91.8
20 599 89.7 90.9
50 567 84.9 85.5
Here the frequency of the WSE converter chain is shifted
by 50 kHz.
The Y-coordinate is 695 at a frequency offset of 50 kHz.
In the previous measurement it was 690 in fair agreement
with the 0.6 dB (= 4 pixels) expected due to the missing
amplitude calibration.
At 75 kHz in this image the level is 58 pixels lower
which means that the level at 100 kHz offset is 9.3 dB
below the level at 50 kHz offset.

100 94.8
Here the frequency of the WSE converter chain is shifted
by 100 kHz.
The level at 75 kHz is 43 pixels below the level at 25 kHz
which means that the level at 150 kHz offset is 7.0 dB
below the level at 100 kHz offset with the 0.6 dB correction
included.

This figure shows the noise floor when the transmitter is switched
off. The system noise floor is about 10 dB below the sideband
sideband noise at 150 kHz offset. The sideband noise at 150 kHz
offset is therefore at 102.2 dB below the carrier in 2.4 kHz
bandwidth when the noise contribution from the measurement system
is subtracted.
