Use the power of cross correlation with dual independent reference sources

With the Microchip 53100A Phase Noise Analyzer, you can use the power of cross correlation with dual independent reference sources to make phase noise and Allan deviation measurements that would otherwise demand significant investments in equipment and training. Now, with the introduction of Option IR, we’ve packaged two high-performance reference sources inside the box, making dual-reference measurements more accessible than ever without compromising the 53100A’s market-leading flexibility.
