Abstract
A phase noise measurement method including a low noise programmable synthesizer and a receiver/down converter is provided. The low noise synthesizer provides L-Band Signals which can selectively exhibit low noise close-in or low noise far out. The receiver/down converter provides for absolute, additive, and down converted/direct/multiple phase noise measurement.
