HP 85671A

Phase Noise Measurement Utility

The Agilent 85671A phase noise measurement utility is a downloadable program that transforms your Agilent 8560 series spectrum anaylzer into a phase noise tester. The Agilent 85671A removes the work in performing phase noise measurements.

The Agilent 85671A utility eliminates the time-consuming task of hand-drawing phase noise plots. To measure oscillator phase noise, you no longer need to spend time manually tuning your spectrum analyzer to multiple frequency offsets. You can quickly and easily generate graphs of phase noise (dBc/Hz) versus log offset frequency.

Features:

• Direct phase noise readout
• Variable filtering
• Calculation of RMS noise
• Spot frequency measurements
• Digitized hardcopy and storage

Specifications:

Measurement Modes:
Log plot, spot frequency, RMS noise
Carrier Frequency Range
Agilent 8560E: 100 Hz to 2.9 GHz
Agilent 8561E: 100 Hz to 6.5 GHz
Agilent 8563E: 9 kHz to 26.5 GHz
Agilent 8563 Opt. 006: 100 Hz to 26.5 GHz
