Toby,
I believe you have stumbled onto something that should be carefully
defined when testing with wide roofing filters when the DSP IF is set to
the more typical testing bandwidth of 500 Hz. The K3 has both IF shift
and narrow passbands available in DSP and they can be effectively used
together. Then we hear about the 'narrow filtering with wings' in a
recent post and that would further complicate matters.
It seems to me that a lot of the DSP setup characteristics must be
defined for any test to assure test repeatability. I can envision test
setups to make the 2 kHz spacing 'numbers' for the wide filters look
good or bad depending on the rest of the parameters. That may be why
the list posted by Eric had 'n/a' for the 2 kHz number for the wide
filters. For instance when both signals are within the roofing filter
bandpass, the results will depend only on the DSP and based on the
number of bits used in the input DAC, the BDR should be in the vicinity
of 90 dB, but very different (and better) numbers can be obtained by
placing one signal inside and the other outside the roofing filter - so
I conclude that the receiver setup details must be better defined for
any test using 2 kHz spacing.
