How is phase noise calculated?
Phase noise measurements quantify the short term stability of a frequency source. That is because phase and frequency are mathematically related by a differential function [ω(t) = dΦ(t)/dt] so they are directly connected.
What is meant by phase noise?
Phase noise is defined as the ratio of noise power at a given offset frequency to the carrier power. From: Principles and Applications of RF/Microwave in Healthcare and Biosensing, 2017.
How does phase noise change with frequency?
The phase noise increases when a signal is frequency multiplied, +6 dB for every doubling. The phase noise decreases when a signal is frequency divided, -6 dB for every division by 2.
