[time-nuts] State of the art of crystal oscillator measurements

That is why I asked what the Po was. Where did the 177 come from? L(f) is single sided. This is not my first "rodeo" in these matters. 73 - Mike

Remember that L(f) is expressed in dBc/Hz, not dBm/Hz.  If it were dBm/Hz, then kT would be the limit.  But in dBc/Hz terms, the limit is 177 + the DUT's output power in dBm.  

Assuming a 50 ohm system, of course.
