White Paper: Understanding Phase Noise Measurement Techniques
Oct. 9, 2024
Learn more about how different instruments measure phase noise
Phase noise can be measured using traditional spectrum analyzers as well as dedicated phase noise analyzers. This white paper explains the difference between these two methodologies and in particular, how the cross-correlation method improves both the sensitivity and accuracy of phase noise measurements.
