NXA-50 Phase Noise Analyzer

Product Details

This new NXA-50 is a sea-change in Phase Noise Test Systems. Making both residual and absolute noise measurements out to 50 GHz, this self-contained instrument uses either internal or external references with cross correlation for maximum dynamic range. The NXA-50 combines over 25 years of Phase Noise Measurement Technology with an easy-to-navigate user interface. System operation requires minimal training that will have you making measurements in minutes.

The NXA-50 will make extremely rapid phase noise measurements for carrier frequencies from 5 MHz to 50 GHz. With offset capability from 0.01 Hz to 40 MHz the system uses two-channel cross-correlation to separate Device Under Test (DUT) noise from the added system and reference noise. This feature provides high dynamic range and measurement repeatability. The NXA-50 includes two separate built-in references for rapid and easy, one-button measurements. The NXA-50 also allows the user to apply external low-phase noise references. This feature provides enhanced dynamic range and significant test speed improvements.
