The Agilent E5505A Phase Noise Measurement System provides flexible sets of measurements on one-port devices such as voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), dielectric resonator oscillators (DROs), crystal oscillators, and synthesizers, and on two-port devices such as amplifiers and converters. The E5505A system measures absolute and residual phase noise, AM noise, and low-level spurious signals, as well as CW and pulsed signals. It operates in the frequency range of 50 KHz to 26.5 GHz. The E5505A phase noise measurement system combines standard instruments, phase noise components, and PC software for maximum flexibility and re-use of assets. The system PC operates under Windows XP Professional and controls the system through the Agilent E5500 measurement software. The E5500 software enables many stand-alone instruments to work in the system. This standalone-instrument architecture easily configures for various measurement techniques, including the PLL/reference-source technique, and delay-line and FM-discriminator methods.
