Good Practice Guide to Phase Noise Measurement

Abstract: Measurement of phase noise has e important in designing and developing
systems munications which pervade so much of our daily life. Without good, low
phase noise oscillators in systems such as mobile telephone systems, the levels of interference
experienced by users would e eptable. Improvements in these systems are often
contingent upon improved oscillators and these improvements can only be quantified through
good measurements of phase noise.

This guide has been written by David Owen on behalf of the National Physical Laboratory.
David Owen was involved in the measurement of phase noise on VCO’s, synthesizers and crystal
oscillators for many years while employed by Marconi Instruments, which became IFR, and is now
part of Aeroflex. David was first involved with phase noise while working as a design engineer of
signal generator and signal analyzer products, and later as the business manager for the signal
generator group. David Owen is currently the PXI Business Development Manager for Pickering
Interfaces.
