Good afternoon, In the process of writing my thesis I stumbled over the problem that the definition of what phase noise is in IEEE 1139 is a bit confusing, to put it mildly. After a short discussion with Magnus, it seems clear to me that I need to have a better understanding of how phase noise measurement was done in the past to properly understand what the standard means to say.
I think, I have a decent grasp on how modern phase noise analyzer work, safe for a few details here and there, where they seem to try to mimic what the old analog analyzers did. Before I go on a wild goose chace, I thought I ask here for advice: Could you point me at as detailed as possible descriptions on how phase noise analyzers used to work in the purely analog times? Preferably also as many different approaches as possible. And, if you are aware of anything that I should have a look at that might not be obvious to a youngster like me, I would very much appreciate if you would let me know. Thanks in advance Attila Kinali -- The driving force behind research is the question: "Why?" There are things we don't understand and things we always wonder about.
