Title: E8257D Calibration(OPT HA1)
Post by: Kyoungmin Kim on 12-02-2015 -- 19:56:43
Hi,
I have a question about E8257D Calibration.
When I use TO K3-4-3435, I have to Limited Calibration about SSB Phase Noise.
I wanna know in TO K3-4-725 also cailbrate SSB phase noise Limited Calibration.
And what is difference between TO 3435 and 725?
Thanks.

Unless you have a stellar phase noise measurement system you won't be able to read below -120dBc/Hz.  The phase noise option on our PSA is only as good as the noise floor of the analyzer.  Hope my grammar was up to par....

You will need a Keysight E5540B or E5052B to measure phase noise around -150dBC
