Fast Measurements
The HP 3048A is a flexible system designed to provide a
simple solution to your absolute and residual noise
measurement needs. It provides phase, frequency, and
amplitude noise characterization for both signal sources
(such as oscillators and signal generators) and two-port
devices (such as dividers, mixers, and amplifiers).
The HP 3048A features rapid measurement speed. As you
follow the measurement procedures presented in this
manual, you will find that you are able to set up and
complete your noise measurements in a fraction of the time
it takes to make comprehensive noise measurement using
other techniques.
The following table shows approximate system run times for
measuring various frequency offsets.
