Abstract :
A fully calibrated measurement of the output waveform of an oscillator is realized. The measurement is performed automatically without the need for synchronization between the oscillator and the LSNA hardware, and allows to track the time variations of the spectrum. The obtained spectral measurements outperform similar measurements that can be performed by a DSO.
