Siglent SNA5000-PV Performance Tests option license
The SNA5000-PV option adds Phase Noise and Frequency Stability measurement capability to SIGLENT SNA5000A Series Vector Network Analyzers. It enables precise analysis of phase noise, jitter, and spectral purity of RF sources and oscillators without a dedicated phase noise analyzer.
SIGLENT SNA5000-PV Phase Noise Measurement Option
The SNA5000-PV option enables Phase Noise and Frequency Stability measurements on SIGLENT SNA5000A Series Vector Network Analyzers. This option allows precise evaluation of phase noise, frequency jitter, and spectral purity of RF sources, oscillators, and signal generators directly on the VNA platform.
By integrating phase noise analysis into the SNA5000A, engineers can characterize RF signal quality without the need for a dedicated phase noise analyzer, improving efficiency while reducing test setup complexity.
