Refer to Chapter 8, “Residual Measurement Fundamentals” for more
information about residual phase noise measurements calibration types.
Procedure
1. Connect circuit as per Figure 9-2 on page 9-11, and tighten all
connections.
2. Measure the power level that will be applied to the Signal Input port of
the Agilent/HP 70420A’s phase detector. The following chart shows the
acceptable amplitude ranges for the Agilent/HP 70420A phase detectors.
