Why You Can’t Just Use a Spectrum Analyzer Industry has an increasing demand for spectrally pure signals in applications such as imaging radar, mobile communications, satellite communications, weather ...

Measuring phase noise with a spectrum analyzer. The primary advantage of dedicated phase-noise analyzers. The cross-correlation method. Using a spectrum analyzer is the oldest, most straightforward, ...

Measuring phase noise at very small offsets from the carrier (“close-in” phase noise) is challenging for two reasons. First, a very narrow resolution bandwidth is required to avoid measuring the ...

Designed especially for measuring phase noise and for characterizing RF signal sources, the FSUP signal-source analyzer is presented as the first such instrument to combine a high-performance spectrum ...
