Uncertainty analysis for a phase-detector based phase noise measurement system

An example of design, optimization, stabilization and noise performances of resonator-based optoelectronic oscillators

“…Uncertainty budget is determined according to GUM (Guide of Uncertainty Measurements). The global uncertainty is ±2 dB at 2s with accredited calibration [23,24]. Recent works concur with Integrated OEO [25] with good results with resonator on chip and athermal waveguides applied to ring resonators [26].…”

Recent progress in the performances of ultrastable quartz resonators and oscillators

“…For experimental use, uncertainty calculation is better known with a modern way of estimating thanks to Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) edited by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), intergovernmental organization through which Member States act together on matters related to measurement science and measurement standards [36]. Typical uncertainty calculation on phase noise in the RF domain are given in references [37,38].…”

Uncertainty Evaluation on a 10.52 GHz (5 dBm) Optoelectronic Oscillator Phase Noise Performance

“…Several phase noise measurement techniques were investigated by Ulrich L. Rohde and Ajay K. Poddar from Germany in 2013 [ 31 ]. For the uncertainty calculation, we proceeded similarly to the determination of the uncertainty for a purely microwave setup [ 32 ].…”
