  10. Agenda • Derived quantity and traceability: concept • Establishing traceability: general approach • Phase noise: example • Definition and expressions • Direct spectrum method • Phase detector method • Summary

  11. Establishing traceability: general approach • Required content: • Measurand • Measurement method • Measurement equation(s) • Uncertainty equation(s) • MU contributors • Final MU • Supporting evidences • Physical principle: most essential!

  12. Agenda • Derived quantity and traceability: concept • Establishing traceability: general approach • Phase noise: example • Definition and expressions • Direct spectrum method • Phase detector method • Summary

  13. Definition and expressions • Expression 1: • Single sideband power • 1 Hz bandwidth • frequency f offset from the carrier • referenced to the carrier frequency power. f Phase noise: short-term frequency stability in frequency domain

  14. Definition and expressions • Expression 2: • Spectral density of phase fluctuations • Phase variance per 1 Hz BW • In dB when referenced to 1 rad/sqrt(Hz) When total phase fluctuation in the modulation sideband << 1 radian (small angle criterion):

  16. Direct spectrum method Phase noise traced to Frequency RF power Attenuation Reflection coefficient • Major MU contributors: • Bandwidth normalization (shape of IF filter & amplifier) • Amplitude accuracy • High offset frequency Mismatch

  17. Phase detector method

  18. Phase detector method Major MU contributors: Phase detector K factor Baseband analyzer accuracy Test set frequency response PLL suppression correction High offset frequency mismatch Phase noise traced to Frequency RF power AC Voltage Attenuation Reflection coefficient Noise

  19. Summary • Derived quantity & traceability: concept • Derived quantity in SI and on traceability chain are not the same • Measurement uncertainty determines the validity of traceability • Establishing traceability: general approach • Details from measurement method to final MU should be documented. • Pay special attention to the physical principle. • Phase noise: example • Different measurement methods and ranges may give different traceability.

  22. Phase Noise Overview

  23. 8563A SPECTRUM ANALYZER 9 kHz - 26.5 GHz Direct Spectrum Method Spectrum Analyzer UUT Overall sensitivity limited by SA internal LO

  24. Phase Detector Method • PROS • AM noise suppression • Low overall noise floor • Wide offset frequency range • Wide carrier frequency range • CONS • Requires an extra reference source (and downconverter) with much lower phase noise (15 dB less than the UUT) • High drift rate UUT requires high peak-tune-range (PTR) reference source • Close-in measurements require additional correction
