Abstract

This study develops a dual-path cross-correlation technique and a single-path cascade method for phase noise and transient measurements up to the V-band frequency region. Further, this paper presents the complete test setup and test procedure. Results of the analyses of the single-path cascade measurement method and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) floor effects are also discussed in detail. We demonstrate a good agreement between the two proposed techniques.
