The Agilent 4352S test system can evaluate the characteristics of VCOs and PLLs that are essential to designing local oscillators used in RF wireless communication equipment. This system can make high-speed measurements thanks to the dedicated firmware and "carrier lock multi-mode PLL" technology for phase noise measurement that enables the system lock unto the carrier of the measured signal automatically. In addition, the Agilent 4352B has excellent phase noise performance such as -157 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset typically, so that this test system can make reliable and repeatable phase noise measurement with up to 10 times reduction in measurement time. Actually it can measure 801 measurement points from 100 Hz to 10 MHz offset in 7.4 seconds/sweep. Besides the powerful phase noise measurement capability, the Agilent 4352S can measure frequency transient with 50 Hz frequency resolution and 12.5 micro-seconds time resolution.
When configured with the Agilent 43521A downconverter unit, the Agilent 4352S offers a dedicated and comprehensive VCO/PLL design and production measurement solution for manufacturers that must test at frequencies over 3 GHz. The enhanced 4352S is a complete system that offers a frequency range from 10MHz to 12.6GHz and is capable of measuring phase noise, RF power, transients, settling time, and many more parameters required for VCO/PLL evaluations.
