Ultra-low Phase Noise Measurement System

OEwaves introduces the OE8000 family of fully-automated ultra-low phase noise measurement system products. OE8000 is capable of measuring absolute phase noise of -75 dBc/Hz at 10 Hz offset and down to -174 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz offset for any frequency between 6 to 12 GHz without requiring a separate low phase noise reference source or down-converter. Simple setup and user friendly graphic interface allows quick high performance absolute phase noise measurement with a click of the mouse, and in one to three minutes.

RT/duroid® 5880LZ Laminates

RT/duroid 5880LZ material is a PTFE composite designed for exacting stripline and microstrip circuit applications. Rogers’ ground-breaking filler system results in a low density (1.37 gm/cm3), lightweight material making it an ideal choice for high performance, weight sensitive applications such as airborne antennas. RT/duroid 5880LZ laminate has a dielectric constant (Dk) of 1.96 at 10 GHz, providing the lowest Dk of a copper clad microwave material available today. In addition, the dielectric constant is uniform from panel-to-panel and constant over a wide frequency range. Its low dissipation factor extends the usefulness of RT/duroid 5880LZ to Ku-band and above.
