Abstract
This article describes the measurement theory and presents a test method to perform phase noise verification using off-the-shelf components and instruments, The measurement technique described consists of a double-balanced mixer used as phase detector, followed by a low noise amplifier. An FFT spectrum analyzer is then used to view the modulation components. A simple calibration procedure is outlined that ensures accurate measurements, A block diagram of the configuration is presented as well as actual phase noise data from the 400-kW, 2.115-GHz (S-band) klystron transmitter.
