(1) Measured with differential 100 ohm across TxP/M. The DC bias to 1.8V to each TxP/M at each pin remains and is not removed. Other external components on the TX paths are disconnected.
(2) After DSA calibration procedure
(3) measured with 1µH DC feed inductor
(4) measured with 0.39µH DC feed inductor
(5) Input clock phase noise subtracted.
