The 7000 series is an integrated solution that offers an indispensable set of measurement functions for evaluating VHF to microwave frequency signal sources such as crystal oscillators, PLL synthesizers, clocks, phase-locked or free-running VCO's, DROs, SAW, or Yig oscillators, and others. The flexible instrument comprises a two-channel, cross-correlation system with two internal, tunable references sources that also allows measurements with externally sourced references. We offer three platform options for the 7000 Series Phase Noise Testers: the 7070 5 MHz-to-7 GHz, the 7300 5 MHz-to-26 GHz, and the 7340 from 5 MHz-to-40 GHz.
