Hi Cristian,

The spurs between 500-800 MHz are from internal clocking mechanisms.

There are no plans to ‘flatten’ the noise floor. This would require new hardware development.

As for your last questions, I didn’t verify the values, but assuming the numbers are correct, the answer is yes. This can be considered the analyzers noise contribution, also referred to as noise figure.

Regards,
A.J.
