Amplifier Measurement Example
This example contains information about measuring the residual noise of
two port devices
This example demostrates a residual phase noise measurement for an RF
Amplifier. Refer to
Chapter 8, "Residual Measurement Fundamentals"
more information about residual phase noise measurements.
To prevent damage to the Agilent/HP 70420A test set's hardware
components, the input signal must not be applied to the signal input
connector until the input attenuator has been correctly set for the desired
configuration, as show in
when the Connection Diagram appears.
The following equipment is required for this example in addition the phase
noise test system and your unit-under-test (UUT).
To ensure accurate measurements, you should allow the UUT and
measurement equipment to warm up at least one hour before making the
noise measurement.
