[time-nuts] Keysight N5511A - phase noise measurements down to theoretical-177 dBm/Hz

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

The cheapest approach for phase noise is probably to use a single RPD-1 mixer plus preamp and feed the
output into a sound card. Total cost should be under $100. Yes, it’s a DIY sort of project rather than a “buy 
it and use it” sort of thing.
