NXA Phase Noise Analyzer
The All-In-One Phase Noise Test System
The NXA is a fully automated Phase Noise analyzer. Its dual channel architecture allows the system to use a cross-correlation process to cancel its internal noise floor. This reliable technique provides access to the unique noise floor performance of the DCNTS.
A completely new user interface based on the largest 14 inch touchscreen of the industry that simplifies the operation, focusing the user on the measurement result itself and not on the measurement technique. Experts can always access advanced settings if needed.
Quick and easy phase noise plots can be obtained without any training so any manufacturing technician can operate the NXA Series. This is the only instrument that combines great ease of use and state of the art performance.
With its internal frequency references, measurements are made extremely easy without the hassle of connecting cables and tweaking settings. However, when ultimate performance is required, the capability to use external reference sources like crystal oscillators, SAWs or SLCOs pushes the instrument noise floor down to the thermal noise.
Why the NXA Series ?
- RF and Microwave Devices from 2 MHz to 6, 26 or 50 GHz
- Cross-Correlation technique
- Reference sources built-in for residual and absolute phase noise testing
- Single button fast measurement
- Residual/Additive Phase Noise Measurements capable
- Frequency Stability (Allan Variance and Deviation) up to 10,000 seconds
- CW or pulsed signals compatible (CW only for NXA-6)
- Ideal for the manufacturing floor.
- NIST tested Calibration accuracy
