Expanding Your Measurement Experience
Testing the 8663A Internal/External 10 MHz
This measurement example helps you measure the absolute phase noise of an
RF synthesizer.
To prevent damage to the test set's hardware components, do not apply the input
C A UTI ON
signal to the signal input connector until the input attenuator has been correctly set
for the desired configuration, as shown in
when the connection diagram appears.
Required equipment
This measurement requires an Agilent 8663A in addition to the phase noise
test system and your device under test (DUT). You also need the coaxial cables
and adapters necessary to connect the DUT and reference source to the test
set.
To ensure accurate measurements allow the DUT and measurement equipment to warm up
NO T E
at least 30 minutes before making the noise measurement.
