SSA5000A Phase Noise Measurement SW (SSA5000-PN)

A stable frequency source is a common need for many electronic devices and most RF equipment. Phase noise can be used to characterize the short-term frequency stability of these frequency sources. Siglent’s SSA5000A Spectrum analyzers now provide a one-button phase noise measurement. The SSA5000A features lower Display Average Noise Level (DANL) and phase noise ensuring the accuracy of your tests. The smaller resolution bandwidth avoids measuring both carrier power and noise power together, and the measurement results are automatically calculated and graphed. The use of a logarithmic scale for the horizontal coordinate gives both a wider frequency range and finer resolution when close to the carrier – smaller offsets tend to reflect the quality of the signal better than phase noise at larger frequency offsets.
