HA7062C
PHASE NOISE ANALYZER
PRODUCT SUMMARY
The HA7062C Real Time Phase Noise Analyzer is the industry leader with respect to provenaccuracy, high reliability, automation and flexibility; offering extremely fast measurement speeds toreduce product development time and/or optimize ATE manufacturing throughput.
MEASURED NOISE FLOORS: Competitive designs approximate their measurement noise floors,
versus providing actual noise floor data. The front end of the HA7062C was designed in part, sothat the noise floors limits can actually be measured (refer to pages 7-10).
UNPARALLELED ANALOG PERFORMANCE: The HA7062C has a high speed digital processor
for speed, but the proven accuracy and speed starts with the analog front end. A key component of
the analog front end is a pair of Holzworth 6GHz HSX Series RF Synthesizers as the test system’sinternal LOs. These ultra low noise RF sources not only complement the dual core FFT engine toprovide one of the most advanced phase noise analyzers available, but they are also madeavailable to the user at the front panel’s LO Output ports.
REPEATABLE DATA: Holzworth’s fully shielded, fan-less 1U chassis completely eliminates
ground loops and troublesome microphonics for uncompromised performance and repeatability.
See it for yourself knowing that Holzworth encourages running head-head tests with thecompetition. Contact Holzworth directly for availability of an evaluation unit in your area.

HA7062C
PHASE NOISE ANALYZERNOISE FLOOR MEASUREMENT SETUP
The unique architecture of the HA7062C allows for direct access to key internal modules in order tomeasure the actual noise floor of the analyzer at any given frequency vs. minimum frequency offset
and number of correlations. The noise floor of competitive phase noise analyzers is always
approximated.
To perform a noise floor measurement, the internal power splitter is bypassed to directly access thephase detector (mixer) of each channel/core while measuring two non-correlated frequency sourcesat the frequency of interest. Refer to Figure 2, below.

PHASE NOISE ANALYZERNOISE FLOOR DATA
The data contained in this section demonstrates the noise floor capability of the HA7062C at fivedifferent frequencies covering the base operating range of the instrument (10MHz, 100MHz, 1GHz,
3GHz and 6GHz). The three plots in each figure reflect the actual noise floor for 1, 10 or 100
correlations. Further improvement in the noise floor can be achieved by utilizing more correlations(refer to Table 2, located on page 5).
All data contained in this section was acquired using a minimum offset frequency of 1Hz. For
reference, the data acquisition times for each measurement are as follows:
1 correlation: < 10s
10 correlations: < 90s
100 correlations: < 15 min
NOTE: Setting the instrument to a higher minimum offset frequency will further improve themeasurement speed.

PHASE NOISE ANALYZER
HA7062COPERATION.
All data processing is performed internally on the HA7062. Measurement settings can be changed
using serial commands sent to the HA7062C via any of the included communication options (seeCONFIGURATION on page 12). Measurement results can be read back directly from the
instrument, eliminating the use of the GUI software. This capability provides unparalleledoperational flexibility, ideal for ATE applications.
Purchase of an HA7062C includes access to the MATLAB™ compiled GUI for hardware operationand viewing/saving data. All software upgrades and functionality additions are freely available forthe life of the instrument at no additional cost to the user.
Each unit comes with an open license to operate the MATLAB™ Runtime based application on any
number of Windows based PCs. The MATLAB™ Runtime is MathWorks shareware that can beused without the purchase of a MATLAB™ license/seat.

HA7062C SOFTWAREThe HA7062C GUI offers an extremely user-friendly means to utilize the full functionality of the
HA7062C on any Windows-based PC. Absolute, Residual, Time-Domain, Jitter, AM Noise, andmore can be performed using the intuitive software GUI.
The Holzworth HA7062C Series GUI can be run on any Windows PC by first installing the MATLAB
Runtime which can be downloaded directly from the MathWorks website. This installation is also
located on the USB thumb drive that is included with the instrument.
(NOTE: The Holzworth GUI is compiled using the libraries for version R2014a. This is the Runtime
version that must be installed in order for the Holzworth GUI to run.)Once the MATLAB Runtime is installed, the Holzworth GUI can be launched from the extracted file
folder by double-clicking the executable file: HolzworthHA7062C_Vxxx.exe

HX4920 FREQUENCY EXTENSION
Absolute measurements from 6GHz to greater than 20GHz can easily be performed by introducing
the Holzworth HX4920 Downconverter as shown below.
NOTE: Using a single HX4920 Downconverter in the test setup will limit the measurment floor(example: -137dBc/Hz at 10GHz) due to the additive phase noise performance of the HX4920
device (refer to the HX4920 datasheet for more information). The additive measurement noise floor
can be improved by using a pair of HX4920 units as shown on the following page.

HX4920 FREQUENCY EXTENSION (continued)
For measuring higher frequency sources with performance of better than -137dBc/Hz (10kHz offset
at 10GHz), a pair of HX4920 frequency downconverters are implemented as shown below.
Bypassing the internal power splitter as shown, allows for 2x HX4920s to be used with theanalyzer. In this configuration, the downconverters are non-coherent, and their noise floor
contribution is then cross-correlated out of the measurement.

HA7062C RESIDUAL MEASUREMENT BLOCK DIAGRAMS
The architecture of the HA7062C greatly simplifies the additive measurement process. The block
diagram below shows the basic configuration for an additive phase noise measurement.
A pair of Holzworth HX5100 Electronic Phase Shifters can be used in place of mechanical phaseshifters to fully automate the additive measurement. The HX5100 Phase Shifters automate theprocess of setting quadrature between the LO and DUT inputs by using the tune voltages of LO1and LO2 to adjust the phase offset of each signal path.
Mechanical phase shifters can also be used in place of the HX5100 Electronic Phase Shifters(recommended for DUT measurements >6GHz). The built in Quadrature Monitor is employed forvisual feedback while adjusting mechanical phase shifters.
