The HA7062D from Holzworth is a real time phase noise analysis system that operates from 10 MHz to 26 GHz (optional to 40 GHz). It has a real-time engine that covers the full measurement bandwidth with extremely fast measurement speeds to reduce product development time and optimize ATE manufacturing throughput. Holzworth has architected the instrument’s front end so that the noise floor limits can actually be measured. This is a unique feature of this analyzer as most competitive products do not offer this.
The phase noise analyzer provides measurement offsets from 0.1 Hz to 100 MHz. It has a high speed digital processor for speed, but the proven accuracy and speed starts with the analog front end. A key component of the analog front end is a pair of Holzworth HSX Series RF Synthesizers as the test system’s internal LOs. These ultra-low noise RF sources not only complement the dual-core FFT engine to provide one of the most advanced phase noise analyzers available, but they are also made available to the user at the front panel’s LO Output ports.
The HA7062D is available in a fully shielded, fan-less 1U chassis that completely eliminates ground loops and troublesome microphonics for uncompromised performance and repeatability.
