It looks like your RBW is way too high, which will increase the apparent noise level by a large amount. It should be set to 100 Hz also. Set your sweep to auto so it will go slowly enough to make the measurement. It will take some time for the sweep.

Hy Eric!

Thanks for Your answer.
The measurment setup is :
VBW 100Hz
RBW 10kHz
Span 500KHz

Any ideas what went wrong????

Hi Adi,

There must be something wrong with your K2 or measurement set up. As can

be seen

from the phase noise plot on our web page (under radio comparisons) the K2

TX

signal is better than -130 dBc when you get 10-20 kHz away from the

carrier.

Also, what b/w and span were you using on your 8590 analyzer?

On the receive side the XV and K2 pair are among the best out there. I do

not

know what was different about his set up.

OK...now I'm getting really angry HI HI :))...
First the transmitter (easy one)

I made a measurment with my HP8590A of the transmitted signal from K2 to
transwerter (signal after the first buffer).
When i moove 100 KHz away from carier there is -73dBc of signal

remaining.

After a little bit of conversation with local gurus probably this not to
good number (compared dBc's of other same 1.st class rtx's are -90
to -100dBc)
