http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/en/an/AN3359.pdf is the Maxim note I was referring to.
This HP app note, describing an advanced noise-measurement program for the 8568A, is excellent as well: http://www.speakeasy.net/~jmiles1/an270-2.pdf With a graph acquired from the junker 8568A I bought for GPIB work, I'm getting essentially-identical results to what they show in figure 4. Makes me a lot more confident in the math, as well as the condition of my $450 8568A. -- john, KE5FX > Could someone please give me a reference for the Maxim > application note that > has been mentioned several times?
