UTS5000A-PNM: Phase Noise Measurement

Overview

The UTS5000A-PNM software option provides comprehensive phase noise measurement capability for oscillators, synthesizers, and signal generators on the UTS5000A Series signal analyzer. With a measurement frequency range from 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz (model dependent) and offset frequencies starting at 10 Hz, this option is essential for characterizing phase noise performance in communications systems, radar local oscillators, and reference clock sources where phase noise directly impacts system performance. The UTS5026A platform delivers typical phase noise of <-107 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset (1 GHz carrier), providing a solid measurement floor for accurate characterization.

Key Features

  • SSB Phase Noise Measurement: Single-sideband phase noise in standard dBc/Hz format
  • Wide Offset Range: 10 Hz minimum offset to maximum measurement frequency
  • Multiple Measurement Views: Monitor, Spot Frequency, Log Plot, and IQ Waveform displays
  • DANL Floor Measurement: Instrument noise floor characterization for measurement confidence
  • Comprehensive Marker Functions: Noise Degree, Noise Radian, Noise Jitter, Noise dBc, Residual FM (Weighted Integration), and Averaged Noise Density
  • Integrated Phase Jitter: RMS jitter calculation over user-defined offset ranges
  • Software-Based: Can be added to existing UTS5000A analyzers via licensing

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the UTS5000A's phase noise floor affect measurements?

The instrument's own phase noise sets the lower limit of what can be measured. The UTS5026A achieves typical phase noise of <-107 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from a 1 GHz carrier, which is suitable for characterizing most communication-grade oscillators and synthesizers. For sources with phase noise significantly better than the instrument floor, the DANL Floor measurement view lets you assess measurement confidence at each offset frequency.

Can the PNM option be added after purchasing the analyzer?

Yes—the PNM option is software-based and can be added to any UTS5000A analyzer at any time through software licensing. Contact your UNI-T representative or authorized distributor for licensing and installation.
