How to Begin
Document Part No. E5500-90024Ed. 1.0
This measurement demonstration will introduce 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 70420A test
set's internal noise source. (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.
The equipment shipped with this system is all that is required to
complete this demonstration. (Refer to the E5500 Installation Guide
if you need information about setting up the hardware or installing
the software.)
Follow the set up procedures beginning on the next page. The phase
noise measurement system will display a setup diagram that shows
you the correct front panel cable connections to make for this
measurement.
