Phase Noise Test System
Keysight’s N5511A Phase Noise Test System (PNTS) is a replacement for the gold-standard Keysight E5500 phase noise measurement system. PNTS is the foundation of test setups that can measure down to kT (-177 dBm/Hz). This is the theoretical limit for any measurement at room temperature –PNTS can measure at the limits of physics.
PNTS is designed for phase noise “Power Users” at the high-end of the market. These are phase noise experts that would like to fully characterize the phase noise (and AM noise and baseband noise) emerging from their radio frequency and microwave devices including oscillators, mixers, dividers, multipliers and amplifiers.
