Abstract

Measurement of phase noise has become important in designing and developing systems for communications which pervade so much of our daily life. Without good, low phase noise oscillators in systems such as mobile telephone systems, the levels of interference experienced by users would become unacceptable. Improvements in these systems are often contingent upon improved oscillators and these improvements can only be quantified through good measurements of phase noise.
