Phase noise is crucial in imaging equipment, affecting key factors such as: 1. Resolution & Clarity: High phase noise degrades image clarity, making it harder to discern fine details. 2. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): Excessive phase noise lowers SNR, resulting in images with poor contrast. 3. Coheren... read more

Frequency stability and phase noise are both important parameters in electronic systems, particularly in applications involving oscillators and signal processing. Frequency stability refers to an oscillator's ability to maintain a constant frequency output despite environmental changes, crucial for ... read more

Testing OCXO and TCXO for phase noise and jitter involves specialized equipment. Phase noise is measured with a phase noise analyzer or spectrum analyzer, while jitter is measured with a time interval analyzer or oscilloscope. For phase noise measurement, the oscillator output is connected to the an... read more
