Define phase noise performance of MXG
Option 432 allows users to add real-time phase noise to any arbitrary waveform played back using the internal baseband generator. From the front panel, define the shape of the phase noise pedestal (1 kHz to 77 MHz), including the start frequency, stop frequency, and phase noise level, and simulate different local oscillator conditions during LO substitution.
Typical application
Phase noise impairments are recommended for receiver characterization and design. During receiver development, use N5872B-432 to determine the sensitivity of your design to the phase noise of the local oscillator. Option 432 also allows you to evaluate receiver demodulation accuracy for transmitted signals of varying spectral purity.
This option can be added as a product upgrade.
