Nominal frequency
The frequency for which the oscillator is designed and to which it is tuned.
 

Nominal value
The defined value of a quantity, or an ideal value whose uncertainty is 0. Frequency offset can be estimated by using the measured frequency (f1) minus the nominal frequency (f2) over the nominal frequency.
 

Non-harmonic distortion (Spurious responses)
Unwanted non-harmonic or spurious responses are found in the output signal of an oscillator. Their content is specified in dBc.
 

ns
nanosecond
