Abstract
A phase noise measurement method of measuring phase noise of a device under test is described. The phase noise measurement method includes the steps of: determining, by a measurement circuit, measurement IQ data based on an output signal of a device under test; setting, by a control circuit, a magnitude threshold; determining, by an analysis circuit, critical samples of reference IQ data for which a magnitude of a reference signal is smaller than the magnitude threshold; discarding the critical samples of the reference IQ data and corresponding critical samples of the measurement IQ data, thereby obtaining modified reference IQ data and modified measurement IQ data; and determining, by the analysis circuit, a phase noise spectrum of the output signal of the device under test based on the modified reference IQ data and based on the modified measurement IQ data. Further, a measurement system is described.
