cascade phase noise analysis - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Post subject: cascade phase noise analysis

Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2005 12:58 pm

Hello, new to board - looking for anyone who might know of a tool, other than excel, that allows for cascade phase noise analysis, in an ADS type format (circuit block diagram) - basically drop an oscilltor in, specify its output power and absolute phase noise, the conect an amplifier and specify its residual contribution and gain, compression etc- calculate the output phase noise, power. Looking for a tool with Mixers, amplifiers, passives and configurable blocks (DDS's for example).

I am ready to write my own but would love to avoid tthe cost of that.

Thanks -

Dino

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
