Realization of a Phase Noise Measurement Bench Using Cross Correlation and Double Optical Delay Line
Résumé
In this paper there are presented ¯rst results obtained with a phase noise measurement bench operating in X-band, realized in our laboratory, using double optical delay line and cross correlation. Phase noise floor using a microwave sapphire oscillator is better than {160 dB rad2/Hz at 10 kHz from the 10 GHz carrier, using a 2 km optical delay line.
