Testing Phase Noise
Notes:
1. This test step requires the UUT to be tested on a Phase Noise Test Set.
2. Print this page for reference of Carrier Frequencies, Offsets, Output Power and Pass/Fail specs.
3. Measure phase noise with Output Power = +10 dBm or maximum specified, whichever is less.
4. Measure phase noise with a Carrier Frequency from each frequency band.
5. Determine Pass/Fail from the spec in dBc/Hz at the offset frequency specified in the table below
6. Close this file to return to SureCAL.
7. From SureCAL, manually record Pass/Fail for this test step (press P for Pass or F for Fail)
Standard SSB phase noise (CW)
(1) Offset from carrier frequency
20 kHz
Carrier Frequency Spec (dBc/Hz)
250 kHz to 250 MHz –130
> 250 to 500 MHz –136
> 500 MHz to 1 GHz –130
> 1 to 2 GHz –124
> 2 to 3.2 GHz –120
> 3.2 to 10 GHz –110
> 10 to 20 GHz –104
> 20 to 40 GHz –98
