Additive (Residual) Phase Noise Measurement of Amplifiers, Frequency Dividers and Frequency Multipliers

摘要

This article has presented additive phase noise as an element inherent in all two-port devices. Simple and economical means to measure additive phase noise in amplifiers, multipliers and dividers have been shown. Once the effort has been made to apply the equations presented, the additive phase noise measurement can become an integral part of every R&D and manufacturing test line.
