Model 7000 Series | 1 MHz to 40 GHz Phase Noise Tester - Signal Source Analyzer

The 7000 series is an all-in-one integrated solution that offers an indispensable set of low-noise phase measurement functions.  The instrument comprises a two-channel, cross-correlation system with two internal, tunable references sources that also allows measurements with externally sourced references. We offer three platform options for the 7000 Series Phase Noise Testers: the 7070 1 MHz to 7 GHz, the 7300 1 MHz to 26 GHz, 7340 1 MHz to 40 GHz

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A

What Is Phase Noise?

Phase noise is the noise produced by fast, short term fluctuations in a signal. Phase noise diminishes the signal quality and increases error rates in communication links. Although there is no such thing as “no” phase noise, the less you have, the better.
