Low Cost Production Phase Noise Measurements on Microwave and Millimeter Wave Frequency Sources

H. McPherson, Spectral Line System Ltd.

Automated RF and Microwave Measurement Society (ARMMS) Conference, Corby, England, UK, November, 2009.

Abstract:

This paper describes a low cost solution which is particularly suitable for phase noise measurements on microwave and millimetre wave sources, namely the Two-Source IF Discriminator Method.

An X-Band Frequency Agile Source with Extremely Low Phase Noise For Doppler Radar

H. McPherson, Spectral Line System Ltd.

Radar 92; Proceedings of the International Conference (IEE) , Brighton, England, UK, October 1992.

Abstract:

This paper dates back to the origins of the Company's work on Ultra-Low Phase Noise Frequency Sources based on discriminator stabilisation techniques.

Microwave Frequency Agile Source Techniques for Coherent Radar Applications

H. McPherson.

MIOP 1989 Conference Proceedings, Sindelfingen, W. Germany.

Abstract:

Although somewhat dated now, this paper still provides a worthwhile summary of low noise synthesizer techniques for frequency agile coherent radars.
