284 A. L. LANCE, W. D. SEAL, AND F. LABAARSOURCE(CALIS.)PHASESHIFTER9872APLOTTEROSCILLOSCOPED9845ACALCULATORDoSPECTRUMANALYZERFIG. 25 Millimeter-wave phase noise measurements using a waveguide delay line. (FromSeal and Lance. 198 I.)post-bridge amplifiers with appropriate gain are not available, so the sensitivitycan equal the amount of carrier suppression.Figure 26 shows the use of a harmonic mixer to downconvert to theconvenient lower frequency where post·bridge amplifiers are available.The relatively low sensitivity to frequency drift that is characteristic ofdelaylinediscriminators becomes an advantage here. A separate calibrationgenerator is required, as shown in Fig. 25, and a power meter is used to assureproper power levels during the calibration process.2. SPECTRAL DENSITY OF AMPLITUDE FLUCTUATIONSAM noise measurements require equal electrical length in the two channelsthat supply the signals to the mixer. The delay line must be replaced with thenecessary length of transmission line to establish the equal·length conditionwhen the systems shown in Figs. 25 and 26 are used. The AM noise measurementsystem is calibrated and the noise measurements are performed directlyin units of power for a direct measurement of m(f) in dBc/Hz. m(f) is thespectral density of one modulation sideband divided by the total signalpower at a Fourier frequency difference f from the signal's average frequencyVo' The system calibration establishes the detection characteristics in termsof total power output at the IF port of the mixer (detector).IN-235

TO AUTOMATICPHASE/AM NOISEMEASUREMENTSYSTEMFIG. 26 A millimeter-wave hybrid phase noise measurement system that produces IFfrequency and uses a delay-line discriminator at IF frequency. (From Seal and Lance, 1981.)The AM noise measurements are performed according to the following.(1) A known AM modulation (carrier-sideband ratio) must be establishedto calibrate this detector in terms of total power output at the IF port.The modulation must be low enough so that the sidebands are at least20dB below the carrier. This is to keep the total added power due to themodulation small enough to cause an insignificant change in the detectorcharacteristics.(2) The rf power levels are adjusted for levels of approximately 10 dBmat the reference port and 0 dBm at the test port of the mixer.IN-236
