This video shows how to measure RIGOL DSA815’s phase noise. It also includes a brief explanation on the basic principles of phase noise specification. In the experiment, the DG4000 arbitrary waveform ...

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, ...

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 ...

Using a spectrum analyzer to measure noise signals requires several additional factors, such as sensitivity or how well the instrument can measure small signals. The analyzer’s noise floor specifies ...

Three tools are typically used to measure vibrational noise (noise) - a storage Oscilloscope (scope); a vibration sensor (sensor), which is generally a 'seismic grade' accelerometer 1; and a ...

Let’s say a corporate engineer or a consultant is coming to your station to diagnose and repair a problem using an RF spectrum analyzer. This would be a great time to schedule a meeting with your ...

Spectrum analyzers are general-purpose instruments, so the greatest advantage of using a spectrum analyzer to measure phase noise is that it provides additional useful functions for characterizing ...
