Phase noise is the result of small random fluctuations or uncertainty in the phase of an electronic signal. We specify and measure phase noise because it is a fundamental limitation in the performance ...

I sometimes need a noise generator for testing equipment, and useful signals must often be mixed with the noise, such as when testing equipment designed to extract a clean signal from a contaminated ...

White noise generators commonly are used for testing purposes such as setting the noise level in bit error rate (BER) measurements, providing broadband signals for ...

The behavior of analog circuits can often be characterized by sweeping their inputs with a signal going across a range of frequencies and then observing the output. These sweeps can be composed of ...

The system in Figure 2 uses the ADF4372 PLL (see Figure 5), a wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO, that allows the implementation of fractional-N or integer-N frequency synthesizers when used ...

Generator noise is a problem. While portable generators are great for providing emergency power, they can be loud and disruptive to those around you. In some instances, they might even be unusable if ...
