Phase Noise Measurements Utility
Technical Overview
Enhance your 8560 series spectrum analyzer
For the Agilent 8560 series spectrum analyzers
Phase noise measurements made easy
The Agilent Technologies 85671A phase noise measurement utility is a down-
loadable program that transforms your Agilent 8560 series spectrum analyzer
into a phase noise tester. The 85671A removes much of the work of performing
phase noise measurements.
The 85671A utility eliminates the time-consuming task of hand-drawing phase
noise plots. For many oscillator phase noise measurements, you no longer need
to spend time manually tuning your spectrum analyzer to multiple frequency
offsets. You can quickly and easily generate graphs of phase noise (dBc/Hz)
versus log offset frequency.

Easy, guided
measurements
When you activate the 85671A, a configuration menu is displayed. All measure-
ment parameters are in view on one screen, as shown below. Just use the
softkeys to make any changes you need, and start the measurement.
