Patent number: 5608331Abstract: A noise measurement test system 10' for making phase noise and amplitude noise measurements of microwave signals derived from a continuous wave RF source. The system 10' comprises an RF input for receiving an applied RF noise signal and an RF coupler 11 coupled to the RF input for splitting the applied RF noise signal into first and second paths 18a, 18b. A mixer 15 that comprises a synchronous phase detector 15 is coupled to receive signals from the first and second paths 18a, 18b, respectively, and which outputs demodulated phase noise. The first path 18a comprises a variable attenuator 14 and a variable phase shifter 13 coupled between the coupler 11 and the first input of the mixer 15 for providing a reference signal input to the synchronous detector 15. The second path 18b comprises a delay line and an adjustable RF carrier nulling circuit 30 coupled between the coupler 11 and the mixer 15.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1995Date of Patent: March 4, 1997Assignee: Hughes ElectronicsInventors: Irwin L.
