Most likely, the PN improvement will be somewhat better than the expected 12
dB close to the carrier, and somewhat worse than expected (if you see any
improvement at all) farther out.  

The corner frequency that separates "close in" and "farther out" will be
device-specific,  but it'll probably happen between 100 Hz and 2 kHz.
