Hi,
I've took the time to read carefully your long and detailed message Magnus and
this was very interesting. I've learned many things that have enabled me to
investigate further. Ah yes, you're right saying that the more you fall into
these things, the more you discover that you have to
Hi -
I agree with what you stated, however, I am not sure that at real low levels
they are actually discernible. Regards - Mike

I have a page that illustrates how you can use a delay line and a mixer to
separately obtain AM and PM

Bob -
What I am saying is, even at the levels you mentioned, what is measured is I
believe the combination of phase and AM. In other words, you are just measuring
noise, but, are not certain if it is all phase, or phase plus some AM. At least
that is my recollection when I was heavily involved
Hi
I guess the question becomes how low is low.
If it’s a 50 ohm system
If the power level is rational
If you are at room temperature
There are some limits on how low low can be.
You have a -174 dbm / Hz thermal floor. AM or PM noise can only be 3db better
than the thermal floor. At a
At those low levels, how does one differentiate between phase or AM noise?
Thanks Regards - Mike

Interestingly they use regenerative dividers.
Pretty good read.
Thanks

Hi
More or less by definition:
AM noise has the sidebands in phase, PM noise has the sidebands out of phase.
PM adds to no envelope power, AM adds to the envelope power. If you have purely
random noise, half of the power is AM, half is PM by this approach. If you have

Although the phase noise when using optical combs to generate Rf signals
is low there is no mention of the am noise.

THe stability /accuracy of lasers is entirely dependent on the cavity length.
Materials used are usually invar or silica, so you are no better off than
with a quartz crystals.
They are just a resonant cavity.
