Abstract :
The author derives the response of single-oscillator phase noise test setups. Both amplitude noise and phase noise responses are described as a function of the noise frequency and setup scattering parameters. The response of a three resonant cavity setups are compared to the response of the delay line setup. The effect of cavity Q and coupling on the setup response is shown for three resonant cavity configurations
