Abstract
The present work is devoted to the characterization and measurement of the phase instabilities produced by microwave amplifiers. We describe a special receiver designed for phase noise measurements at low Fourier frequencies. i.e. very close to the carrier in the spectral domain. Phase noise measurements of a microwave amplifier are presented and the noise floor of the receiver is shown and discussed.
