E5505A Operation: A Guided Tour
This measurement demonstration introduces you to the system's operation by
guiding you through an actual phase noise measurement.
You will be measuring the phase noise of the Agilent N5500A Phase Noise Test
Set's low noise amplifier. (The measurement made in this demonstration is the
same measurement that is made to verify the system's operation.)
As you step through the measurement procedures, you will soon discover that
the phase noise measurement system offers enormous flexibility for
measuring the noise characteristics of your signal sources and two-port
devices.
Required equipment
The equipment shipped with this system is all that is required to complete this
demonstration. (Refer to the E5505A Phase Noise Measurement System
Installation Guide if you need information about setting up the hardware or
installing the software.)
How to begin
Follow the setup procedures beginning on the next page. The phase noise
measurement system displays a setup diagram that shows you the front panel
cable connections to make for this measurement.
