Designing a
Setting up a Phase Noise Measurement using the Phase
Measurement
Lock Loop technique requires completion of the following
steps:
A. Determine the Equipment Requirements
B. Define the Measurement Parameters
C. Set up the Hardware
D. Evaluate the Beatnote
E. Run the Measurement
Note
To configure a phase noise measurement effectively,
you should have a fundamental understanding of the
measurement technique and signal sources you are using.
Insight into the Phase Lock Loop measurement technique
used in this example is provided in Chapter 2.
Required Equipment
1. HP 3048A Phase Noise Measurement System
a. HP 11848A Phase Noise Interface
b. HP 3561A Dynamic Signal Analyzer
c. Controller with 3M bytes of memory and a Disc
drive.
d. Optional RF Analyzer
2. Reference Source with better phase noise performance
than the DUT.
3. Various cables
