Perry, Typically jitter is expressed in the time domain (so many ps peak to peak for instance) Phase noise is expressed as a power ratio in the frequency domain. Otherwise they usually represent the same phenomenon. Didier On Thu, Apr 9, 2020, 6:29 PM Perry Sandeen via time-nuts <

[time-nuts] Phase noise confusion II

2020-04-09 Thread Perry Sandeen via time-nuts
Learned Gentlemen, The explanation by Tobias was excellent and fully answered my question. I think I'll be able to use my Fluke 6080AN for offset generation so the problem will be the measurement after the mixer. What is now called phase noise was taught to me as *jitter* over 55 years ago.

Learned Gentlemen, Rick wrote:If you really need lower far out phase noise than the 10811 offers,you can redesign the 2nd and 3rd bufferamplifier stages. The 10811 designers knowingly degraded the phasenoise in those stages because of requirements to be backwardcompatible with 10544 sockets.

Hi It was one of those things that sounded like a great idea when they first sketched it up. Once they dug into the grubby details, it didn’t make as much sense. This was back in the early 90’s. The guts of a cell tower were quite a stretch to come up with back then, even at normal
