How to Begin
This measurement demonstration will introduce you to the
HP 3048A's operation by guiding you through an actual
phase noise measurement.
You will be measuring the phase noise of the HP 11848A's
two internal 10 MHz sources. (The measurement made in
this demonstration is the same measurement that is made in
Appendix A to verify the system's operation.)
As you step through the measurement procedures, you will
soon discover that the HP 3048A offers enormous flexibility
for measuring the noise characteristics of your signal sources
and two-port devices.
The equipment shipped with the standard HP 3048A system
is all that is required to complete this demonstration. (Refer
to Appendix A if you need information about setting up the
HP 3048A hardware or installing the software.)
Complete the set up procedures beginning on the next page.
The HP 3048A will display a setup diagram that shows you
the correct front panel cable connections to make for this
measurement.
