3 Inband System Specification
Inband system specifications are located in the upper left region
of the “Inband” worksheet as shown in Figure 3. A brief explanation of each parameter is given in Table 1. All
cell input data is validated for correctness.

Used in noise power calculations and for
filter/mixer calculations. This value is used throughout the workbook for column headers and calculations. |

Input Frequency |
Defines input frequency range for filter and
mixer calculations. Low: Lower input frequency High: Upper input frequency
# Steps: Number of frequency steps between Low and High limits. !Important! If this number is
changed, then the number of both the "Freq" columns and the "Psig" columns must be changed to match. |

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
