4.1 Typical Phase Noise Characteristic

Figure 5-1 shows a typical phase noise performance for 156.25 MHz reference clock input from the SMA100B.

LMKDB1108EVM was configured in cascade mode to get these measurements, which were obtained by following these steps:

  1. SMA100B → LMKDB1108EVM input. Then, LMKDB1108EVM to secondary LMKDB1108 EVM. This was done to get good slew rate at the input. Other methods like clipping a circuit can be used to get a desired slew rate and square wave form as well outputted from the SMA100B.
  2. Outputs phase noise is measured through a Balun to the differential waveform from the LMKDB1108 into a single-ended waveform for the phase noise analyzer.
