20、Operation; A Guided Tour Required Equipment How to Begin This measurement demonstration will introduce you to the HP 3048As operation by guiding you through an actual phase noise measurement. You will be measuring the phase noise of the HP 11848As two internal 10 MHz sources. (The measurement made i
21、n this demonstration is the same measurement that is made in Appendix A to verify the systems operation.) As you step through the measurement procedures, you will soon discover that the HP 3048A offers enormous flexibility for measuring the noise characteristics of your signal sources and two-port d
22、evices. The equipment shipped with the standard HP 3048A system is all that is required to complete this demonstration. (Refer to Appendix A if you need information about setting up the HP 3048A hardware or installing the software.) Complete the set up procedures beginning on the next page. The HP 3

32、ns Look at the HP 3561A Dynamic Signal Analyzer and observe the beatnote signal being displayed. You should see the HP 3561A simultaneously display the beatnote in the frequency domain and the time domain, as shown in Figure 1-2. Getting Started 1-7 The beatnote signal is produced by mixing the sign
33、als from the two low-noise 10 MHz sources in the HP 11848As Phase Detector, as shown in Figure 1-3. The frequency of the beatnote signal represents the difference in frequency between the two 10 MHz sources. Press the |lll!MIt|rj| softkey shown on the HP 3048As controller display. Note that you decr
34、ement the HP 3561As display span width each time you press this key. The span width setting is shown in the upper left corner of the HP 3561As display. To increment the span width, press the Shift key on your keyboard and the 3561A Span key at the same time. (In Chapter 3 you will be shown how to us
35、e this capability to set the center frequencies of the input signals to within the tuning range limits of the system.) HP 11848A Figure 1-3. Simplified Block Diagram of Measurement Setup R nninn the * ress Proc:eed when you are ready to run the Measurement measurement. Because you selected the |News
36、Msrmnt| key to begin this measurement, the HP 3048A starts by running the routines required to calibrate the current measurement setup. The following messages will appear on the display as the HP 3048A performs the calibration routines. (You will have ample time to read through the message descripti
37、ons while the HP 3048A completes the routines.) Determining Presence of Beat Note.: An initial check is made to verify that a beatnote is present within the systems detection range of 0.1 Hz to 40 MHz. Verifying zero-beat.: The frequency of the beatnote is measured to see if it is within 5% of the e
38、stimated Peak Tuning Range of the system. The systems Peak Tuning Range is the portion of the voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO) sources tuning range being used for the measurement. When the HP 3048A measures the phase noise of a signal source using the Phase Lock Loop technique (the technique bein
39、g used in this example) it requires that one of the two sources used in the setup is a VCO. For this measurement, the 10 MHz B source is acting as the VCO source. As you will see later in this demonstration, you will be required to estimate the tuning range of the VCO source you are using when you s
40、et up your own Phase Lock Loop measurements. Getting Started 1-9 Zero beating sources.: The center frequencies of the sources are now adjusted, if necessary, to position the beatnote within the 5% range. The adjustment is made with the tune voltage applied to the VCO source set at its nominal or cen
41、ter position. Measuring the VCO Tuning Constant.: The tuning sensitivity (Hz/V) of the VCO source is now precisely determined by measuring the beatnote frequency at four tune voltage settings across the tuning range of the VCO source. Linearity across the tuning range is also verified. (If you watch
42、 the HP 3561As display, you can observe this process. When the measurement of the VCO Tuning Constant is complete, the HP 3048A will display the measured value at the top of the screen.) Measuring the Phase Detector Constant.: The transfer characteristics (V/rad) of the HP 11848As Phase Detector are
43、 now determined for the specific center frequency and power level of the sources being measured. You will see the measured Tuning and Phase Detector Constants appear at the top of the HP 3561As display along with an approximation of the systems noise floor level derived using the measured Phase Dete
44、ctor Constant value. PLL suppression.: The required correction data is created to compensate for the phase noise suppression which occurs within the bandwidth of the phase lock loop created for this measurement. 1-10 Getting Started When the HP 3048A has completed the calibration procedures, it will
45、 lock the loop and begin its noise measurement. The Out of Lock light on the front panel of the HP 11848A turns off after the loop has been tested to verify phase lock. Sweep-Segments When the HP 3048A begins measuring noise, it places the noise graph on its display. As you watch the graph, you will
46、 see the HP 3048A plot its measurement results in frequency segments. The HP 3048A measures the noise level across its frequency offset range by averaging the noise within smaller frequency segments. This technique enables the HP 3048A to optimize measurement speed while providing you with the measu
47、rement resolution needed for most test applications. Out of Lock Detection Before and after the HP 3048A measures each frequency segment, the system verifies that its Out of Lock Detector has not been set. If the detector has been set, the HP 3048A will alert you by stopping the measurement and plac
48、ing an error message in its display. (The Problem Solving sections included in the Measurement Applications chapters of this manual will help you interpret the error messages and will provide you with recommended actions for correcting the problem and continuing your measurement.) Getting Started 1-
49、11 Evaluating When the HP 3048A has completed the noise measurement, the Results t n e graphics softkeys will appear at the bottom of its display. You will find that these keys access powerful graphics capabilities to help you with your analysis and presentation of the measurement results. (Rirther details and demonstrations of these capabilities are provided in Chapter 6 of this manual.) When you look at the measurement resul
