PHASE NOISE CALCULATION
38. Using the data obtained in Table 4-19 and Table 4-20, calculate and enter the Actual Phase Noise
into Table 4-21.
For example: Assume the following data was obtained for the 30 Hz offset at 26.032 GHz
CD
=
0 dB (obtained in step 13)
MNL
=
—50.8 dB (obtained in step 27)
IFCD is defined to be 0 for a 30 Hz offset (also for 100 Hz and 1 kHz)
Therefore
Actual Phase Noise
=
MNL -4- IFCD

=

=
—53.8
The value —53.8 would be entered into Table 4-22.
For example: Assume the following data was obtained for the 10 kHz offset at 2.202 GHz
CD
=
—25.6 dB (obtained in step 19)
IFCD
=
—44.2 dB (obtained in step 22)
MNL
=
—66.0 dB (obtained in step 34)
Therefore
Actual Phase Noise
=
MNL

3 DB
=
—66.0 + (—44.2)
—
(—25.6) —3
=
—87.6
The value —87.6 would be entered into Table 4-22.
