SSB phase noise, amplitude noise, AM noise measurement, additive or residual noise characterization, and baseband noise measurements up to 6GHz can easily be made for sources such as crystal oscillators, PLL synthesizers, clocks, phase-locked VCOs, DROs, and many others.
About one month later, Statek Corp., the manufacturer of the crystal oscillator, received a request from Nervicon to make a product using specifications that were identical to St.
Since each card has its own crystal oscillator, the wander generated by the DPLL will be uncorrelated.
Some of the advantages of this unit include: a slightly more accurate reading than mechanically loaded spring penetrators; calculation by a crystal oscillator sensing element; battery powered operation; a digital readout; and it is free of indicating hands that can be damaged or bent.
The unit also provides a voltage-controlled/temperature-compensated crystal oscillator, and when not tracking satellites, it reverts to the flywheel or holdover mode and specs a stability of 1 ms/hr.
