For the Agilent 8560 series spectrum analyzers Phase noise measurements made easy The Agilent Technologies 85671A phase noise measurement utility is a down- loadable program that transforms your Agilent 8560 series spectrum analyzer into a phase noise tester. The 85671A removes much of the work of performing phase noise measurements. The 85671A utility eliminates the time-consuming task of hand-drawing phase noise plots. For many oscillator phase noise measurements, you no longer need to spend time manually tuning your spectrum analyzer to multiple frequency offsets. You can quickly and easily generate graphs of phase noise (dBc/Hz) versus log offset frequency. Easy, guided measurements When you activate the 85671A, a confi guration menu is displayed. All measure- ment parameters are in view on one screen, as shown below. Just use the softkeys to make any changes you need, and start the measurement.

Specifi cations Specifications shown are based on the operation of an 8560 E-Series spectrum analyzer. Measurement modes Log Plot, Spot Frequency, RMS Noise Carrier frequency range 8560E/EC 30 Hz to 2.9 GHz 8561E/EC 30 Hz to 6.5 GHz 8562E/EC 30 Hz to 13.2 GHz 8563E/EC 30 Hz 2 to 26.5 GHz 8564E/EC 30 Hz 2 to 40 GHz 8565E/EC 30 Hz 2 to 50 GHz Offset frequency range 10 Hz 1 to ≤ 100 MHz Maximum number of decades 5 (whole decades only) Maximum input signal level +17 dBm (Ref Level = -50 dBc/Hz) Minimum input signal level (for optimum dyn. range) -17 dBm (offests ≤ 100 MHz, 10 dB input attenuation) Measurement accuracy (nominal) Amplitude accuracy ±2.5 dB (≥ 10 dB above system noise floor) Amplitude repreatability ±1.5 dB (Maximum filtering and 12 point smoothing) Log graph frequency accuracy ±5% Filtering 4 levels available Smoothing 12 pt (2%), 24 pt (4%) RMS Noise Calculation RMS phase noise is calculated over a user specified integration range.

features
To help make you even more produc- tive at your bench, the 85671A also offers: Direct phase noise readout Just position the spot frequency cursor at any offset frequency after you make a measurement, and the phase noise is numerically displayed. Variable filtering Now you can control trade-offs between measurement repeata- bility and measurement speed. Calculation of RMS noise RMS phase noise is integrated over a user-specified range under the phase noise curve and displayed in radians and degrees. Spot frequency measurements Quickly measure phase noise at a single frequency offset. Digitized hardcopy and storage Data can be printed and plotted, and traces can be stored in internal memory for future use. Data Storage 5 internal trace memory registers Log Graph Hardcopy Outputs are compatible with PCL and HP-GL printers and plotters Minimum offset frequency is 10 times the minimum resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer. Requires option 006 for operation below 9 kHz.
