Photonic‐assisted wideband phase noise measurement of microwave signal sources

“…By using a PD with better noise performance, the difference can be minimised. The phase noise floor of the proposed system for measuring a 10 GHz microwave signal source was tested according to the method in [5]. The result is shown in Fig.…”
