1. The slope is defined as the difference between the gain at the start frequency and the gain at the stop frequency.

2. 112 channels, NTSC frequency raster: 55.25MHz to 745.25MHz, +44dBmV flat output level.

Composite Second Order (CSO) - The CSO parameter (both sum and difference products) is defined by the NCTA.

Composite Triple Beat (CTB) - The CTB parameter is defined by the NCTA.

Cross Modulation (XMOD) - Cross modulation (XMOD) is measured at baseband (selective voltmeter method), referenced to 100% modulation of the

carrier being tested.
