Integrated
Phase
Noise
This procedure tests the
HP
E1440A
integrated phase noise.
Specifications
-55
dB for a
30
kHz
band centered on a 20
MHz
carrier (excluding
f
1
Hz
about the carrier).
Equipment Required
Frequency Synthesizer
Double Balanced Mixer
50R Feedthru Termination
AC/DC Digital Voltmeter
15
kHz
Noise Equivalent Filter
1
MHz
Low Pass Filter
Procedure
1.
Connect the equipment as shown in Figure C-5, connecting the
output of the 15
kHz
noise equivalent filter to the DVM. Phase
lock the
HP
E1440A and the signal generator together.
