If you could find a baseline phase noise plot for the Rigol you could compare it with these: http://www.ke5fx.com/floors.gif It'll be influenced by various factors, such as the carrier frequency where it's being measured. I don't know what their block diagram looks like so it's hard to say. -- john, KE5FX Miles Design LLC _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
