The FSPN phase noise analyzer and VCO tester features very high sensitivity and metrological accuracy and provides highest reliability. It measures phase noise on highly stable sources like synthesizers, VCOs, OCXOs and DROs found in radar and satellite applications.
Equipped with two low phase noise synthesizers and a real-time cross correlation engine for increased measurement sensitivity, just a few correlations are needed to measure very high-quality oscillators, synthesizers or VCOs in production. Increase the number of correlations to characterize the most sensitive commercially available synthesizers and oscillators in R&D.
The FSPN phase noise analyzer and VCO tester has everything needed to keep up with demanding measurements from lab to production. With its extremely high measurement speed and easy usability, it is the perfect instrument for efficient phase noise analysis tasks both in R&D and on production lines.
Thanks to its low‑noise internal local oscillators, the FSPN measures all commercially available synthesizers and oscillators without any additional options.
