Determining Integrated-Phase-Deviation In Phase-Noise Measurements

Many types of modern spectrum analyzers can detect phase noise levels automatically, making phase noise measurements a task without much thought. However, it is a good idea to better understand how modern spectrum analyzers measure deviations, as well as how to optimize a spectrum analyzer’s measurements even further. This white paper discusses key aspects in determining phase noise measurements, and presents formulas and examples that may be used for simplifying measurements.
