Frequency accuracy (synchranization)

How do I interpret this:

The allowed system clock and RF center frequency error in normal synchronized mode is +/- 2ppm. If system clock is 100 MHz anf RF carrier is 3 GHz, does this mean that RF carrier can deviate +/-2 *10^6 *3 GHz = >+/- 6kHz

Or how should I understand this requirement?

Thanks

It look's like you have that correct. If the +/- 2 PPM spec applies to the system clock as well, then that can move by (+/- 2e-6)*100 MHz = +/- 200 Hz.

yeah, I have check the model files.

But there are two equations about L value.

One is only depended on "rad" and other one is depended on "nr ".
