7. Calculate each B1 to B7, C1 to C7 value and the THD using the following
table.
NOTE. When all the harmonic components are -62 dBm or less, the calculation
of THD can be skipped because it is THD < 0.2%.
8. Verify that the THD is less than 0.2%.
9. (Two channel models only) Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the channel 2 output.
