Amplifier phase noise is a significant contributor to transceiver phase noise performance and many designers are increasingly looking for phase noise specifications before choosing an amplifier for their systems. Mini-Circuits’ engineering team has a deep understanding of phase noise and its sources, as well as the inherent challenges of measuring phase noise accurately. The company has invested in state-of-the-art measurement capability to provide reliable data to customers for our MMIC amplifier portfolio.
