R&S®FSV-K40 Phase Noise Measurements
Key Facts
Phase noise is an important parameter in wireless communications systems. The
Equipped with the
Phase noise measurement
- Carrier offset frequency range selectable from 1 Hz to 1 GHz in 1/3/10 sequence (1 Hz, 3 Hz, 10 Hz, 30 Hz, etc.)
- Number of averages, sweep mode and filter bandwidth for every measurement subrange can be individually selected to optimize the measurement speed
- Fast results for the subranges are obtained by starting the measurement at the maximum carrier offset
- Verification of carrier frequency and power prior to each measurement avoids incorrect measurements
- Improvement of dynamic range by measuring the inherent thermal noise in a reference trace and performing noise correction
Measurement of residual FM/PM and jitter
- Integration across the entire selected carrier offset frequency range or across a separately selectable frequency range
- Tabular display of residual FM, residual PM and RMS jitter in addition to measurement trace
Evaluation aids
- Limit lines with PASS/FAIL indication
- Spot phase noise at up to four selectable frequency offsets
- Maximum of four additional markers
