• Mastering Phase Noise Measurement In Oscillator Production

  4/12/2024

  Manufacturers producing products containing oscillators must understand how to measure phase noise and reduce it if necessary. Failing to take phase noise measurements as a part of the quality control process can reduce the item’s performance and reliability. Phase noise occurs when the phase of an oscillator’s output signal in the frequency domain fluctuates. Why does that matter, and which phase-noise measurement techniques should people use?

• 7 Unforgettable Ways IoT Is Reinventing Product Design
