[time-nuts] Phase noise at 1-100Hz

[Javier Herrero]

Hello,

I will need to measure the phase noise of a 35MHz oscillator in the 
range of 1 to 100Hz (well... and also at a higher range but this is no 
problem), and I would like to know about the different alternatives. I 
would like not to have to mess too much with mixers and soundcard 
sampling, if possible :)

I think that the HP 5372A with opt 040 is able to do that, is this right 
and worthy? If so, opt 040 is a pure software option or requires also 
additional hardware? Would be possible also with a 5370A and software 
processing of the raw data? Any other alternatives?

Thanks! Regards,

Javier
