Hi The “original reference” for doing phase noise was a Fluke app note published back in the late 60’s / early 70’s. Pretty much everybody used it as a starting point when setting up measurements. Just why Fluke came out with the information before HP or GR is one of life’s mysteries ….
A quick Google search does not turn up a copy. I’m pretty sure *somebody* must have a copy on their web site. Past that, the manuals and papers associated with the HP 3048 would be a good place to look.
