AD8341
As the output power drops, the noise floor, measured in dBm in
1 MHz BW at 50 MHz carrier offset, drops slightly.

Single-Carrier WCDMA (Test Model 1-64 at 2140 MHz)
Figure 40 shows how output power, ACPR, and noise vary with
the differential I and Q control voltages. VBBI and VBBQ are tied
together and are varied from 0.5 V to 50 mV.

In this case, adjacent channel power ratio remains constant as
the (noise dominated) alternate channel power degrades
roughly 1-for-1 with output power. As the I and Q control volt-
age drops, the noise floor again drops slowly.
