Status messages
This section describes the status messages that appear on the display as the
system performs the calibration routines.
Determining Presence of Beat Note...
An initial check is made to verify that a
beatnote is present within the system’s detection range.
Verifying zero-beat...
The frequency of the beatnote is measured to see if it is
within 5% of the estimated Peak Tuning Range of the system. The system’s
Peak Tuning Range is the portion of the voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO)
source’s tuning range being used for the measurement.
When the system measures the phase noise of a signal source using the Phase
Lock Loop technique (the technique being used in this example) it requires
that one of the two sources used in the setup is a VCO. As you see later in this
demonstration, you are required to estimate the tuning range of the VCO
source you are using when you set up your own Phase Lock Loop
measurements.
