Real-time phase noise analysis

28 June 2024 Test & Measurement

The HA7062C Phase Noise Analyzer has proven accuracy, high reliability, automation, and flexibility. The real-time instrument offers extremely fast measurement speeds to reduce product development time and/or optimise ATE manufacturing throughput.

The HA7062C has a proprietary high speed digital signal processor for real-time measurements, but the proven accuracy and speed starts with the analogue front end providing unparalleled performance. A key component of the analogue front end is a pair of Holzworth HSX Series RF Synthesizers as the test system’s internal LOs (Local Oscillators). These ultra-low noise RF synthesised sources combined with the FFT engine provide one of the most advanced phase noise analysers available.

A key attribute that sets Holzworth HA7000 Series Real Time Phase Noise Analyzers apart from the competition is the capability for measuring the absolute phase noise floor of each instrument. This is very valuable information because like spectrum analysers, no two phase noise analysers are identical even if they are of the same make and model number. The absolute noise floor measurement capability is available with Holzworth phase noise analysers due to a unique reconfigurable front end that allows users to access several internal modules. The ability to measure the actual noise floor of the instrument provides users with a known level of confidence in their data by demonstrating the instrument’s true noise floor relative to the measured data.

The HA7062C offers a DUT input of 10 MHz to 6 GHz with a measurement bandwidth of 0,1 Hz to 40 MHz. The instrument combines automated absolute and additive (residual) measurements and provides real-time cross correlation.
