PN3-class Signal Source Analyzer, 40 GHz

The E5047A PN3 signal source analyzer is a compact, powerful signal source analyzer with frequency range from 5 MHz to 40 GHz.

Maximum frequency 40 GHz
Maximum offset frequency 100 MHz
Absolute phase noise sensitivity (10 GHz @ 10 kHz offset, Xcorr=1) -135
Residual phase noise sensitivity (10 GHz @ 10 kHz offset, Xcorr=1) -150 dBc/Hz

Precise phase noise measurements at the lowest signal levels

Keysight phase noise analyzers come in two classes. The PN3-class includes the E5045A-E5047A signal source analyzers, and the PN7-class includes the E5055A-E5058A signal source analyzers and the N5511A phase noise test system. They deliver accurate, high-sensitivity measurements to detect the lowest levels of phase noise and spurious signals. Enhanced cross-correlation methodology suppresses internal noise and ensures accurate, repeatable results — especially when measuring sources with minimal phase noise. Our high-end models enable ultra-sensitive measurements, with readings down to the kT thermal noise floor (-177 dBm/Hz), ensuring precise characterization of the lowest possible signal levels.

High measurement sensitivity

Detects low-level phase noise and spurious signals with high sensitivity, enabling precise characterization of signal sources and reliable performance of DUTs.

Cross-correlation method

Uses dual independent channels to actively suppress internal noise through cross-correlation, enabling precise and reliable measurement of signal sources with minimal phase noise.

Dedicated phase noise analysis

Purpose-built to accurately measure absolute and residual phase noise of both pulsed and non-pulsed signals, enabling comprehensive evaluation of overall system and component-level performance.

AM / baseband performance

Measures amplitude modulation (AM) and baseband noise, both of which can degrade error vector magnitude (EVM) in digitally modulated signals and contribute to overall phase noise performance.

Maximum frequency 7 GHz to 54 GHz
Maximum offset frequency 160 MHz to 8 GHz
Absolute phase noise sensitivity (10 GHz @ 10 kHz offset, Xcorr=1) -149 dBc/Hz to -153
Residual phase noise sensitivity (10 GHz @ 10 kHz offset, Xcorr=1) -187 dBc/Hz to -150 dBc/Hz

The E5047A PN3 signal source analyzer is a compact, powerful signal source analyzer with frequency range from 5 MHz to 40 GHz.

Fully integrated cross-correlation signal source analyzer

The Keysight E5047A PN3 signal source analyzer comprises a two-channel cross-correlation system with two programmable low noise DC supplies with up to 15 V and 550 mA current capability. The unit also offers three low noise tuning voltages for -5 to +22 voltage range.

The E5047A PN3 signal source analyzer enables you to: Measure absolute and residual (additive) phase noise, pulsed and non-pulsed.
Perform two-channel 100 MHz fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis. Use transient measurements on frequency, phase, or amplitude versus time.
Streamline testing efficiency with an intuitive graphic user interface (GUI), API library, and powerful SCPI command language set. Evaluate signal sources ranging from CVHF to microwave frequencies such as crystal oscillators, PLL synthesizers, clocks, and more.
