Welcome to the Lab!
Do you need to make accurate frequency measurements, but don’t have a reference you can reliably trust? Using standalone quartz oscillators for measurements introduces aging effects that can compromise the frequency accuracy of your measurements. In this video, we’ll be discussing the internal reference options available on the 53100A Phase Noise Analyzer. With this all-in-one solution, you can be confident in your RF measurements.
