2 The S unit of angle 2 The radian is now considered a derived unit because an angle can always be defined in terms of the ratio of two homogeneous quantities (formerly, it was considered an auxiliary uni Electrical circuits => Phasors modulated signal carrier V0 cos( ω 0 modulation ysin(ω 0 n low-noise conditions α( = x and ϕ( = y V 0 V 0 x/v 0 1 and y/v 0 1 xcos( ω 0 thus, arctan(y/x) y/x requirements for a derived measurement to be primary type of partial measurement allowed? this work null measurement always OK needed ratio measurement always OK needed other primary measurement OK unused significantly more precise measurement tolerated needed
3 State of the art 3 synthes. ν s However accurate in practice, A - B are incorrect because of the simultaneous presence of AM and PM. A on P 0 P s rf noise on B P 0 N freq. ref. ν 0 off ν s << ref. P 0 ν s off ref. P 0 ν s The problem is that the phase detector (saturated-mixer) is sensitive to AM E. Rubiola, R. Boudot, EEE Trans. UFFC 54 5 p , may 2007 synthes. ν s C - D are correct because only PM (or AM) is present C P 0 ν s near dc noise on D α or ϕ modulat. P 0 N freq. ref. ν s << ref. P 0 off ref. P 0 ν s The calibrators are still to be referred to the S unit rad Primary laboratories declare 1 2 db accuracy in PM noise measurements

6 Power meter and calibrated attenuator 6 Power meter We have two similar power meters and some probes The probe goes up to 2 GHz, the μwave probe starts at 50 MHz (overlap in the MHz region) Reproducibility within 0.01 db, max 0.02 (observed) changing the mainframe replacing the probe with another of the same type interchanging the probe with μwave one Similar accuracy is expected in differential meas. Reference attenuator a reference attenuator with 40 db attenuation and 0.05 db accuracy is not difficult to obtain Power-ratio:40 60 db Accuracy: 0.05 db angle 0.05º º, accuracy 6x10 3 This should be achievable with off-the-shelf parts, at least at a set of frequencies. A pinch of good luck may be useful 0 db db

15 Conclusions 15 The S phase is a derived quantity, which can be obtained as φ = arctan(y/x) n principle, the application of primarymetrology methods to the AM-PM noise measurements is surprisingly simple FEMTO-ST has not primary-metrology facilities on site, which limits our possibility of a real test Using off-the-shelf instruments and parts, an accuracy of db is feasible The commercial parts are shown only for reproducibility The bridge (interferometric) instrument is suitable to the proposed method with a minimum added complexity home page Free downloads (texts and slides)
