1 Page 1 of 10 LOW COST PRODUCTION PHASE NOISE MEASUREMENTS ON MICROWAVE AND MILLIMETRE WAVE FREQUENCY SOURCES Hugh McPherson Spectral Line Systes Ltd, Units 1,2&3 Scott Road, Tarbert, Isle of Harris Introduction Production test on high frequency coponents and sub-systes is ost efficiently perfored using dedicated test benches which once set up and calibrated reain undisturbed for the duration of the contract. Although ideal, this approach can incur high capital equipent costs if several jobs are running in parallel through production. One of the ost expensive pieces of test gear is often the Phase Noise Measureent Syste, good quality coercial instruentation for this purpose being designed for high perforance and the ability to cope with a variety of different frequency ranges and easureent situations. In a production test environent, however, the easureent requireent for a particular ite is usually quite specific, and it is often possible to take advantage of this fact to substantially reduce capital equipent cost. The object of this paper is to provide an exaple by showing how accurate phase noise easureents on icrowave and illietre wave frequency sources ay be perfored at very low cost by eans of the Two-Source I.F. Discriinator Method. Following a review of phase noise easureent techniques, design of the set-up is discussed and its use illustrated with reference to easureents on three different types of low noise icrowave source. 2. Background Phase Noise Measureents on low noise frequency sources are generally perfored by either the Two-Source Phase Detector Method or by the Single Source Frequency Discriinator Method. 2.1 Two-Source Phase Detector Method (Sources at Sae Frequency) This ethod exhibits the lowest easureent noise floor and is the basis of ost coercial instruentation. The siplest set-up is shown in Figure 1. Here, two sources, both at the sae frequency, are held locked in phase by a low bandwidth phase locked loop, hence the easureent is only valid outwith the locking loop bandwidth. This restriction ay be overcoe by easuring the loop transfer function and correcting the close to carrier data accordingly. This is done autoatically in coercial instruentation. The spectru analyser is set to easure the power spectral density of the voltage fluctuations at the LNA output, resulting in a direct reading of phase noise after appropriate scaling for the PSD constant and LNA gain. Soe FFT analysers ay only display the spectral density of voltage fluctuations, in which case the squaring to yield power ust be done in software. Because the phase noise of a typical source ay change by ore than 100 db over the easureent offset frequency range of interest, it is coon to gather the raw data in decades of frequency in order to reduce the spectru analysis dynaic range and frequency resolution requireents. To avoid the need for one of the sources to have phase noise substantially lower than the source under test, it is also coon practice to easure pairs of noinally identical sources and subtract 3 db fro the result on the assuption of siilar noise perforance. This is usually an acceptable procedure for production test easureents, since in the worst case neither source will have phase noise higher than the easured result, and an appreciable argin will usually have been allowed between expected perforance and the pass/fail liit. The Two-Source Phase Detector Method although generally good is dependent on the sources being sufficiently stable to hold lock satisfactorily, and on being sufficiently well isolated to prevent injection locking. It also depends on accurate calibration of the PSD constant, norally perfored by

2 Page 2 of 10 easuring the aplitude of the difference frequency at the PSD output with the locking loop open. For a sinusoidal wavefor the slope at zero volts is equal to the peak aplitude, hence the phase detector constant ay be easily obtained. It is coon practice, however, to drive both ports of the PSD as hard as possible in order to iniise the noise floor, in which case the PSD response will be non-sinusoidal. In this case calibration ust be perfored against a known phase change. 2.2 Two-Source Phase Detector Method (Sources Separated in Frequency) Figure 2 shows the set-up required if it is not possible to electronically tune one of the sources, or if the tuning bandwidth is insufficient. Here two sources differing in frequency are ixed to an I.F. and the phase noise easureent perfored using a low noise signal generator with DCFM as the tunable source. The perforance of this instruent sets a liit on the easureent noise floor. Soeties it is beneficial to run the generator at a higher frequency and eploy low noise external pre-scalars to divide down to the I.F Single-Source Frequency Discriinator Method (Delay Line Discriinator) This ethod, shown in Figure 3, uses a delay line frequency discriinator to convert source frequency variations to phase variations which are detected by the PSD. The PSD output voltage fluctuations are then directly proportional to the source frequency fluctuations. The spectru analyser is set to easure the spectral density of these voltage fluctuations, i.e. the F.M. noise. Software is then eployed to ake the conversion to phase noise by the forula shown. Note that a 20 db / decade linear fall-off in source phase noise with increasing offset fro carrier results in a flat FM noise result, thereby reducing the analyser dynaic range requireent relative to the direct easureent of phase noise. The delay line discriinator ethod is attractive in that it can tolerate drift in source frequency over the duration of the easureent. As the delay line length is increased the noise floor iproves at the expense of ore liited easureent bandwidth. 2.4 Single Source Frequency Discriinator Method (Resonator Discriinators) Delay line loss increases with frequency, necessitating the use of echanically tunable resonators to produce the frequency to phase conversion instead of delay lines in icrowave discriinators. Transission resonators are the ost straightforward to use and give optiu discriinator sensitivity when the input/output port couplings are equal and set for 6 db transission loss at resonance. Discriinator sensitivity increases with input power level. This is liited, however, to 6 db above the PSD axiu in the case of the transission resonator. Using a reflection resonator allows a substantial increase in discriinator input power and hence sensitivity. Here, a single-port resonator, usually a high Q cavity, is atched at resonance and operates in conjunction with a 3-port circulator to for a notch filter. With the source power initially attenuated to a safe level, the cavity is tuned to place the signal in the centre of the notch and the source power then increased. The PSD now functions as a bi-polar A.M. detector, detecting the change in aplitude with frequency on each side of the notch. Very high sensitivity is possible, resulting in a low noise floor, but great care ust be taken to keep the signal in the centre of the notch to avoid destroying the PSD. 3. The Two-Source I.F. Discriinator Method 3.1 General Description This ethod, which fors the ain subject of this paper, overcoes the proble of excessive delay line loss at icrowave frequencies in the noral single-source discriinator ethod described in paragraph 2.3 above. The technique is by no eans new, but sees to be relatively unknown and unused owing to the predoinance of the two-source phase detector ethod in coercial instruentation and in the literature. The basic set-up is shown in Figure 4. As in the two-source phase detector variant shown in Figure 2, the ethod depends on having two sources available for test, separated in frequency by a suitable aount. The two sources are ixed to

3 Page 3 of 10 for an I.F., and the phase noise of this signal easured using a delay line discriinator operating at a uch lower frequency than the original sources. A 100 MHz Ultra-Low Noise Crystal Oscillator is included for syste noise floor easureent by injecting into the IF aplifier input port in place of the noral signal fro the ixer. The Two-Source I.F. Discriinator Method lends itself well to a low cost solution for production phase noise easureents on icrowave and illietre wave frequency sources. Apart fro attenuators to set suitable signal levels, the only icrowave coponent required is a siple ixer. Unlike the corresponding phase detector ethod with two sources differing in frequency, there is no loop to aintain in lock and to have to calibrate for close in easureents. Unlike the single source discriinator ethod, delay line loss is not a proble at the relatively low I.F., and the cable for the line is inexpensive. In addition, the noise floor is readily verified and can be shown on every source phase noise plot. On the negative side, as for the single source discriinator ethod, the noise floor rises at 20 db / decade towards carrier, and at a higher slope closer-in, as flicker noise takes effect. The bandwidth of the discriinator also becoes narrower as the line length is increased to obtain a lower noise floor. Despite these two factors, however, it will be shown that the technique is still a very good one for production easureents on icrowave and illietre wave sources, and can be ipleented at very low cost and iproved by the use of odern cross-correlation techniques in the software. 3.2 Practical Syste Figure 5 shows a block diagra of the hardware in use at Spectral Line Systes Ltd for production phase noise easureents on icrowave sources operating in the frequency range 10 to 15 GHz. The two sources to be easured are attenuated to give 0 db and + 10 db at the ixer input ports, resulting in around -8 db at the ixer output. This is aplified to a power level of + 30 db in a bipolar transistor liiting aplifier with noise figure 5.5 db and flat frequency response fro 50 to 250 MHz. A haronic filter follows the aplifier to ensure a sinusoidal wavefor enters the discriinator bridge. This is iportant, since a distorted input wavefor can give rise to irregularities in the PSD response. Delay line lengths ranging fro 5 up to 100 are norally eployed in the syste, depending on the noise floor and offset frequency range over which the easureent is required. Occasionally 200 is used to obtain a lower noise floor, although this requires an increase in discriinator input power. We have found RG 213 A/U to be a suitable cable for the line, providing a good coproise between price and perforance. This is a 10.3 O.D. 50 Oh cable of solid polythene dielectric and braided copper screen construction. The velocity factor is 0.66, the loss for a 100 reel easuring 4.2 db at 50 MHz, 6.1 db at 100 MHz and 9.0 db at 200 MHz. Note that there is no point in using a ore expensive sei-rigid cable in this frequency range. The corresponding loss figures for UT 141 cable, for exaple, are 7.7 db at 50 MHz, 11 db at 100 MHz and 15.7 db at 200 MHz. The discriinator bridge includes a 5-bit digitally controlled line stretcher with a phase increent of one degree at 100 MHz. This is used (in conjunction with an external cable if necessary) to set the PSD output voltage to near zero before perforing a easureent. The PSD is a Mini-Circuits TFM4-H driven with both ports at + 17 db, followed by a 20 MHz low pass filter and baseband aplifier. The aplifier consists of an LT 1028 low noise non-inverting op. ap. of x 5 voltage gain for easureents out to 100 KHz and a 30 db gain AC coupled MMIC aplifier for 0.1 to 10 MHz. Before easuring a production batch of sources the syste noise floor is easured by switching the I.F. aplifier input to the signal fro a 100 MHz Ultra-low Noise Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator of our own anufacture, attenuated to the sae power level as the ixer output signal. The oscillator tuning (+/- 1 KHz) ay be used to calibrate the discriinator when used with long delay lines giving a high sensitivity. Otherwise an external signal generator is eployed. Spectru analysis is perfored using a Stanford Research Systes SR 760 FFT Spectru Analyser for easureents out to 100 KHz, and an analogue instruent such as the Agilent HP 8563E at

4 Page 4 of 10 greater offset frequency ranges. We norally allow an overlap of 1 decade in frequency when using both analysers, the degree of atching between the two sets of results providing soe confidence in the easureent. When using the FFT a siple single pole 250 KHz RC low pass filter is inserted between the baseband aplifier output and the analyser input. This is necessary because the instruent uses active anti-aliasing filters, which are not effective above the bandwidth of the op. aps. eployed for their realisation. We have found that sources with phase noise which rises at offsets greater than 100 KHz give erroneous results if this filter is not included. The hardware is constructed using parts drawn fro our Curikela range of RF Circuit Kits developed for use in test gear and for university and college projects. These consist of a odularised syste allowing RF coponents and sub-systes to be built at low cost to a good standard with no pcb anufacture or achining being involved. Using this approach, we have found it ost cost effective to build a specific fixed set up for each production easureent job, rather than attept to produce a ore coplicated syste aied at ore universal application. 3.3 Syste Design and Perforance Appendix 1 lists a nuber of basic relationships for delay line discriinator design. Note that the discriinator agnitude response to an input signal with sinusoidal FM follows a sin x /x function as the odulating frequency is increased. Table 1 shows the response for the various line lengths coonly eployed in the syste. Norally the line length would be restricted to one giving less than 1 db of noise suppression at the highest offset frequency. Having chosen the line length, the easureent noise floor ust be checked to ensure that it is adequate for the task envisaged. This ay be done during the syste design stage by calculation based on a knowledge of the PSD added phase noise. To easure the PSD noise floor the delay line is replaced with an attenuator equal in value to the line loss, the bridge phased for quadrature, and the discriinator excited with the signal fro the aplified low noise crystal oscillator. Note that added phase noise fro the power aplifier is coon to both inputs to the PSD and therefore does not affect the result for the PSD itself. A easureent of the PSD noise floor for the Mini-Circuits TFM 4-H device used in the syste described above when driven at + 17 db on both ports is shown in Figure 6. The corresponding discriinator phase noise easureent floor ay be found by: (a) Increasing the PSD result by the factor - 20 Log 10 (2.. f. Td ), (b) Where f = Offset fro carrier (Hz) Td = Delay Tie (sec.) This expression is derived in Appendix 1. Modifying the curve obtained above by iposing a lower liit set by the added phase noise of the power aplifier between the ixer and discriinator. For a ixer output signal level of - 8 db and an aplifier noise figure of 5 db, as shown in the syste block diagra of Fig. 5, this liit is 164 dbc / Hz, since theral phase noise is 177 db / Hz. Figure 7 shows the discriinator noise floor for the case of a 100 delay line of RG 213 A/U, as easured directly by injecting the low noise crystal oscillator signal at 8 db into the I.F. aplifier input port. Values for the discriinator floor calculated fro the easured PSD floor by the procedure described above are indicated by dots on the plot, and agree with the directly easured result, assuing the curve eventually flattens out at 164 dbc / Hz. Figure 8 shows the noise floor calculated in the above anner for a nuber of different delay line lengths, based on the sae PSD noise as easured in Figure 6. This provides a guide to the perforance which can be expected when considering a production easureent by the Two-Source I.F. Discriinator Method.

5 Page 5 of 10 4 Exaples of Production Phase Noise Measureents on Microwave Sources In order to deonstrate the effectiveness of the Two-Source IF Discriinator Method soe exaples of its application to Spectral Line Systes Ltd production sources are now described. 4.1 Low Noise Crystal Multiplier Sources These sources are based on an Ultra-Low Noise Crystal Oscillator siilar to that eployed in the easureent syste described earlier followed by frequency ultiplication to icrowave. A typical schee for a 10 GHz source, for exaple, would be a 125 MHz oscillator ultiplied by 8 in successive diode doublers and then by 10 in a step recovery diode ultiplier. A good source of this type will have phase noise 20 Log = 38 db above the oscillator noise, degraded by around 3 db to 5 db over the 10 to 100 KHz region, owing to the added phase noise of the ultiplier. Typical figures are tabulated below and copared with the easureent discriinator noise floor: Offset, Hz Phase Noise, dbc / Hz Crystal Osc. Mult. O/P 2-Source Result Disc. Floor Margin At 125 MHz at 10.0 GHz at 10.0 GHz 200 Line db (Fro Figure 7) K K K Note that a discriinator line length of 200 is necessary to provide a argin of 10 db in this case. Table 1 shows that a 200 line still gives adequate bandwidth at 100 KHz. 4.2 Ultra-Low Phase Noise Discriinator Stabilised Sources These sources are based on a resonator discriinator noise control loop which reduces the phase noise of a low noise voltage tuned icrowave source to an even lower level. Typical phase noise at 15.0 GHz is as shown below, and again copared with the easureent discriinator noise floor: Offset, Hz Phase Noise, dbc / Hz at 15.0 GHz Ultra-Low 2-Source Result Disc. Floor Margin Noise Source 100 Line db (Fro Fig. 7) 1 K K K Production systes operate on a nuber of different frequency channels spaced in frequency such that it is possible to easure the in pairs with suitable frequency differences for the easureent discriinator, which is based on a 100 reel of RG 213 A/U cable, as described previously. The table above shows that this length of line is just sufficient to perfor the easureent. 4.3 Delay Line Discriinator Stabilised Microwave Sources These sources consist of a delay line discriinator stabilised VCO at 1.0 GHz followed by a step recovery diode frequency ultiplier to 15 GHz. The driving force behind this design is a requireent for the source to be tunable by at least + / - 20 MHz, and to have phase noise in the 1.0 to 10.0 MHz offset region lower than can be obtained fro the best crystal ultiplier. Production sources are easured in pairs tuned 40 MHz apart, yielding an I.F. of 80 MHz for the Two Source I.F. Discriinator easureents. A 30 delay line is eployed for easureents out to 100 KHz offset using a Stanford Research Systes SR 760 FFT, and a 5 line for easureents fro 100 KHz to 10 MHz, using an HP 8563E spectru analyser, typical results being as shown below:

6 Page 6 of 10 Offset, Hz Phase Noise, dbc / Hz Source Mult. O/P 2-Source Result Disc. Floor Margin at 1.0 GHz at 15.0 GHz at 15.0 GHz 30 Line db 1 K K K Line 100 K M M In early odels of this source the 15.0 GHz signal was further ultiplied up to 90 GHz in a boughtin x 6 frequency ultiplier. At that tie phase noise easureents were not perfored on the W-Band signal, as we thought that we were not equipped for this easureent. In hindsight, with the Two-Source I.F. Discriinator Method, all that would have been required in the way of illietre wave hardware would have been a siple ixer. Note that it is always possible to easure a delay line stabilised source with a delay line discriinator, since the line used in the source can never be ade as long as the easureent line, owing to excessive phase shift within the stabilisation loop. 5. Conclusion This paper has shown that the phase noise of icrowave sources ay be easured at low cost by the Two-Source I.F. Discriinator Method, the easureent becoing easier as the source frequency increases. In the interests of both cost and reliability, a dedicated test set should be built for the particular job in hand, otherwise there is a danger of defeating the spirit of the exercise by attepting to effectively build an instruent. Regarding future iproveents to easureent noise floor, cross-correlation techniques ay be applied to this ethod of phase noise easureent as effectively as to the Two-Source Phase Detector Method. Again in the interests of retaining siplicity and keeping costs low, however, it is probably better to settle for a cross-correlation schee involving duplication of the discriinator, rather than the ore coplex arrangeent of easuring using three sources. Hence the sources under test would continue to be easured in pairs and the discriinator noise floor reduced by crosscorrelation. The question of spectru analysis for use with the easureent syste is perhaps one which should also be addressed in this conclusion. At present we use the Stanford Research Systes SR760 single channel FFT for easureents up to 100 KHz and and an HP 8563E for the 1 to 10 MHz range. It ay be thought that the ideal instruent would be a two-channel FFT with good dynaic range, analysis up to at least 10 MHz, and the ability to perfor cross-correlation easureents. Such an instruent, if available, would no doubt be expensive. Given that two delay line lengths are necessary to cover the full analysis range, however, it is sipler and ore cost effective to have two fixed hardware set ups, each of which can reain undisturbed, operating with its own spectru analyser. Moderately priced instruents covering e.g. 9 KHz to 3.0 GHz are quite adequate for the upper range. By keeping the analyser price low it is possible to have spare instruents, providing cover for calibration periods. These instruents ay also be used for general RF use on other production jobs when not in use for phase noise easureent. When considering iproving the noise floor by cross-correlation, this is only really worth doing on the lower offset frequency range, where it is possible to obtain a 100 KHz two-channel FFT as a stand-alone instruent, since the discriinator noise floor is usually uch ore than adequate at higher offset frequencies
