Ability to Test a Wide Range
of Devices
The E5500 series measures the
absolute, single sideband phase noise,
the absolute AM noise, and the low
level spurious signals of a wide range
of one-port production devices with
either CW or pulsed carrier signals:
• VCOs, DROs, and fixed oscillators
• Crystal oscillators and clocks
• High frequency synthesizers
• Low noise DC supplies
Measure AM Noise Directly
The E5500 series can automatically
measure the AM noise of RF and
microwave devices. The internal AM
detector and DC blocking filter pro-
vided within Option 001 measures
AM noise on carriers up to 26.5 GHz.
AM noise of millimeter frequency
devices can be measured at the IF fre-
quency automatically with the internal
IF AM detector provided within the
Agilent 70427A downconverter which
is part of the E5504A/B solutions.
Additive Noise Measurements
to Two-port Devices
The E5500 series also measures the
residual (additive) phase noise, AM
noise, and low level spurious signals
of two-port production devices with
either CW or pulsed carrier signals:
• High power amplifiers
• Frequency dividers
• Frequency multipliers
• Mixers
