Abstract

A spur measurement system uses a first device with a spur cancellation circuit that cancel spurs responsive to a frequency control word identifying a spurious tone of interest. A device under test generates a clock signal and supplies the clock signal to the first device through an optional divider. The spur cancellation circuit in the first device generates sine and cosine weights at the spurious tone of interest as part of the spur cancellation process. A first magnitude of the spurious tone in a phase-locked loop in the first device is determined according to the sine and cosine weights and a second magnitude of the spurious tone in the clock signal is determined by the first magnitude divided by gains associated with the first device.
