Demonstration 2:

Log plot measurement 

The log plot is the most-frequently 

used presentation of a DUT’s phase 

noise performance. It measures 

single-sideband phase noise (in dBc/

Hz) versus offset frequencies from the 

carrier on a logarithmic scale.

View the entire phase noise behavior 

across decades of offset frequencies. 

Adjust the number of decades by 

selecting the appropriate start and 

stop offsets.

Perform trace smoothing with the 

user-adjustable smoothing segment 

length and view it superimposed with 

the raw data trace.

Instructions  

Keystrokes

On the X-Series in Phase Noise mode:

View log plot

[Meas] {Log Plot}

Set the signal analyzer with a carrier fre-

quency of 1 GHz and an amplitude reference 

level of 0 dBm

[FREQ Channel] {Carrie Freq} [1] 

{GHz}; [AMPTD Y Scale] {Ref Value} 

[0] {dBm}

Set the start offset to 100 Hz and stop 

offset to 100 MHz and restart the log plot 

measurement

[SPAN X Scale] {Start Offset} [100]

{Hz}; {Stop Offset} [100] {MHz}, then 

[Restart]

Turn the Decade table on, so that you can 

have both graphic and tabular presentations
