Description of Calibration Services

The Time and Frequency Metrology Group is engaging in new programs in spectrum analysis and calibration services for industrial, military, and commercial organizations. PM /AM noise measurements require traceability and certification of microwave components such as oscillators, amplifiers, etc. The following calibration services are provided by the group:

Characterization of Oscillators

  • 77130C - Characterization of Oscillators and Amplifiers: Phase Noise in the Frequency Domain
  • 77131C - Characterization of Oscillators and Amplifiers: Amplitude Noise in the Frequency Domain

PM/AM Noise Measurement Systems

  • 77135C - Tests of RF PM/AM Noise Measurement Systems: On-Site Tests
  • 77136C - Tests of Microwave PM/AM Noise Measurement Systems: On-Site Tests
  • 77140S - Special Time/Frequency Measurements: Oscillators and Other Components
