Known Osc.
The 3 Oscillator Comparison function must be used to determine the
noise level of the reference device (Known Osc). Once a known reference
level is established, the HP 3048A subtracts the reference noise from the
measurement results. The 2 Oscillator Comparison function is only valid if
the Measurement Definition parameters and the segment table parameters
are kept the same for the reference device vs. the DUT, as when
the reference device was measured using the 3 Oscillator Comparison
function.
Description
Measurement Uncertainty
The noise level of the two devices should be within 3 to 6 dB of each other
at the frequency offset of interest. The amount of uncertainty increases
when the phase noise differs by more than 3 dB. Also, a minimum of
20 averages defined in the Type/Range display is recommended when
measuring the devices.
How to Make a 2 Oscillator Comparison
NOTE
This procedure assumes that the 3 Oscillator Comparison
function has been used to establish the noise level of the
reference device (Known Osc).
1.
Measure the known reference device against the DUT and Store the
results at the same mass storage location as the Result File for the
reference device. (Refer to Result
Files
in Chapter 3, Graphic Functions
if you need information about storing files.)
