Phase noise measurement using E5052B
Aug 19th, 2019, 9:32am
 
Hi All,

E5052B from Keysight uses "PLL method" to measure phase noise. I am measuring the phase noise of a 100 MHz square wave clock using this instrument. The effective offset range of the instrument is mentioned as 10 MHz for a 100 MHz clock, roughly 10% of the input clock frequency.

I am interested in phase noise beyond 10 MHz. What does the instrument measures at these offset frequencies? Does it show amplitude modulation(AM) sidebands along with phase modulation(PM) sidebands?

10MHz away from the 100MHz signal you should see the noise floor...
