Phase Noise Measurement

Listing of all important parameters for a stable phase noise measurement using the phase detector method.

Typical phase noise measurement with the phase detector method: Signal frequency, level and residual FM/φM are displayed.
Spot Noise vs. Tuning Voltage

Phase noise values of an oscillator at different offset frequencies as a function of tuning voltage.
Residual Phase Noise

Typical test setup for residual noise measurements.
Through a 90° phase shift of the paths, inherent generator noise is eliminated, leaving only the noise caused by the DUT.
Cross-correlation

Cross-correlation: Two identical receiver paths minimize the influence of the internal reference. The additional microwave frequency converter enables measurements up to 50 GHz.

Improvement of phase noise sensitivity by means of cross-correlation. Measurement of the phase noise of a signal source at 25.8 GHz without cross-correlation (green trace) and with cross-correlation, 100 (violet) and 1000 (yellow) averages.
Spectrum Analyzer method

A phase noise measurement using the spectrum analyzer. The blue trace shows the measurement result up to an offset frequency of 1 GHz. The inherent noise (green trace) is subtracted from the measured signal (yellow trace).
