RF source
With N5508A Option 002, the phase noise measurement system requires the
addition of a synthesized signal generator. The signal generator adds the
capability of mixing an RF source with the microwave source. The front
- panel
frequency of the RF source is automatically controlled by the N5508A unit.
Spectral purity
The spectral purity table (Table 9 on page 28) combines the N5508A Option
002 configuration 1 with the 8662A or 8663A synthesized signal generators
when used
as a microwave source. All noise levels are in units of dBc/Hz
unless otherwise noted.
To combine the 8662A/3A phase noise specifications with configuration 2
specifications (Table 4 on page 23) and/or configuration 3 specifications
(Table 5 on page 24), use the phase noise numbers from Table 9 for offsets
≥ 1 kHz and configuration 2 and 3 tables for offsets ≤100 Hz.
