TIMING, TEST & MEASUREMENT 5120A ACCURATE, COST EFFECTIVE MEASUREMENTS IN SECONDS Making accurate phase noise and Allan deviation measurements has never been easier or more cost effective. The all-digital 5120A High-Performance Phase Noise and Allan Deviation (ADEV) Test Set with Ultra Low Noise Floor transforms the way these measurements are made. Traditional measurement instruments require an external phase-lock loop, turning these types of measurements into a complicated and costly endeavor. Compare this with the 5120A, which makes fast yet accurate single sideband (SSB) phase noise and ADEV measurements at the click of a button, all at a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions. Symmetricom’s 5120A is the easiest to use phase noise and ADEV test set in the world: simply connect the device under test (DUT) and reference signal (which can be at a different frequency than the DUT) and press the 5120A’s green Start button. Seconds later valid measurement data appears on the unit’s high resolution display. With the all-digital 5120A, tedious multi-step configuration and calibration routines are no longer required. The 5120A leverages the extensive knowledge and experience obtained by Symmetricom during the development of the industry standard for ADEV measurements, the 5110A. In addition to top of the line ADEV measurement capability, the next generation 5120A provides phase noise measurement accuracy to previously impossible levels of ±1.0 dB. This combined with the best-in-industry phase noise and ADEV measurement floor means that with the 5120A you can characterize even your lowest noise references more accurately than ever before. KEY FEATURES/BENEFITS • Simultaneous Phase Noise and Allan Deviation Measurements • 1 - 30 MHz Frequency Range • Measurement Results Displayed within Seconds: No External Data Processing Required • Industry Leading Accuracy (±1.0 dB) • Supports Measurements with Input and Reference at Different Frequencies • Allan Deviation Measurements (to over 300 Days) • Phase Noise Measurements as Close as 0.1 mHz from the Carrier • No Measurement Calibration Required: Saves Time • Real-time Noise Floor Displayed • Optional Internal Reference Oscillator • Best Price-Performance Solution • Intuitive Remote Network Management and Data Acquisition • Easy to Use Graphical User Interface • Phase Noise Measurements Down to -175 dBc/Hz Symmetricom’s mastery of phase noise and ADEV measurement techniques as well as recent advances in high speed, low noise analog to digital converters, has allowed the combination of multiple measurement tools to be integrated into a single, one box solution. This enables the 5120A to make more accurate measurements while remaining cost effective. For further convenience, Symmetricom has added an internal reference oscillator option for the 5120A. This one box solution, known as the 5120A-01, saves you the time of procuring and calibrating an external reference. After making just one connection from the DUT to the 5120A-01, you can begin making accurate measurements. The 5120A brings a paradigm shift to the way that phase noise and ADEV measurements are made. With the 5120A, measurements that used to be complicated and costly are now faster, easier, more accurate and more cost effective in both R&D and production environments.
