2. If insertion loss is less than 4 dB, these measurements are ignored.
3. If FEXT is less than 70 dB, ACR-F measurements are ignored.
4. If the calculation of the FEXT limit value at a frequency is more than 65 dB, then the
limit at that frequency is 65 dB.
5. If PSFEXT is less than 70 dB, PS ACR-F measurements are ignored.
6. If the calculation of the PSFEXT limit value at a frequency is more than 62 dB, then
the limit at that frequency is 62 dB.
