Abstract

We present improved performance for a 92 - 96 GHz cross-spectrum phase modulated (PM) noise measurement system previously reported. The system is principally designed to measure amplifiers in pulsed mode with a duty cycle of 10% to 100% (CW) at a given pulse repetition frequency. This paper reports only the CW mode of operation. Data for the noise-floor of the measurement system as well as PM noise of several W- band active components are presented. This work also discusses an improved performance frequency synthesizer that operates in the 92 - 96 GHz range.
