Hi,
How good can be a Modulation Analyzer (such as the R&S FAM, which I happen
to have one) for measuring phase noise?
Since it measures phase modulation, it should be able to somehow measure
phase noise, right?. Assuming it is using a low noise reference, how useful
is it for roughly comparing phase noise of relatively clean 10Mhz
oscillators? What are the best settings, regarding detector type and
filters?
I uploaded the FAM specs here, just in case someone wants to check them:

Thank you,
