The slope is defined as the difference between the gain at the start frequency and the gain at the stop frequency. 2. 7 channels, NTSC frequency raster: T7-T13 (7.0MHz to 43.0MHz), +50dBmV flat output level. 3. 28 channels, NTSC frequency raster: T7-T13 (7.0MHz to 43.0MHz), 2-6 (55.25MHz to 83.25MHz), A-11 (121.25MHz to 199.25MHz), +46dBmV flat output level. 4. 42 channels, NTSC frequency raster: T7-T13 (7.0MHz to 43.0MHz), 2-6 (55.25MHz to 83.25MHz), A-W (121.25MHz to 295.25MHz), +44dBmV flat output level. 5. 2-tone, 11dBm/tone, f1=99.0MHz, f2=100.0MHz,1 MHz tone spacing, fm=199.0MHz (f1+f2) 6. 2-tone, 11dBm/tone, f1=199.0MHz, f2=200.0MHz,1 MHz tone spacing, fm=201.0MHz (2xf2-f1) Composite Second Order (CSO) - The CSO parameter (both sum and difference products) is defined by ANSI/SCTE 6. Composite Triple Beat (CTB) The CTB parameter is defined by ANSI/SCTE 6. Cross Modulation (XMOD) - Cross modulation (XMOD) is measured at baseband (selective voltmeter method), referenced to 100% modulation of the carrier being tested. Carrier to Intermodulation Noise (CIN) - The CIN parameter is defined by ANSI/SCTE 17 (Test procedure for carrier to noise).
