how to measure static phase noise by N4440A spectrum analyzer

[IkramHassan]

Hi, i am new in the RF measurement, and i have to measure the static phase noise, stray and pulse modulation of a DUT, please explain me how to use the spectrum analyzer (N4440A) for this purpose. It will be very helpful for me if you explain the steps for the measurement. Thanks and best Regards

Hi Ikram!

This is Peter Erskine in Applications Engineering. I was not able to find any information on a N4440A Spectrum Analyzer. However, I was able to find information on a E4440A spectrum analyzer. This is a spectrum analyzer developed by Agilent, and you can find the user manual here. 

If you are looking to use this spectrum analyzer in LabVIEW, National Instruments has the E4440A instrument driver page that will help you out. If you have any additional questions about how to use LabVIEW with this analyzer, please let me know. I will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

However, if you are looking to get help on the spectrum analyzer itself (without the use of LabVIEW), I would suggest contacting Agilent's technical support either by phone or on their forums for additional information.

Have a great day!

Hi Sir Peter

First of all I am very glade to see the positive response from the NI, and secondly I apologies for my mistake that the spectrum analyzer Part Number is E4440A instead of N4440A. I am using this spectrum analyzer manually for my measurements, and in this sense I am requested for the measurement setting steps while performing the Static Phase noise, Stray, and Pulse Modulation measurements of the DUT. 

Thanks 

Best Regards
