Recently we made upgrades to our phase noise measurement feature in Spike™. This upgrade was a result of months of development and requests we had received from customers. Our Advanced Phase Noise Measurement Tool Kit is now available for an annual cost of just $99. We are also offering a new perpetual license for this tool kit with a one-time cost of $500. With this license you get valuable upgrades to the phase noise capability in Spike. (version 4.0.4 or later is required for operation of this tool kit)
The Advanced Phase Noise Measurement Tool Kit includes NEW features such as:
- Automatic signal search
- Spur rejection
- Peak tracking
- Amplitude noise measurements
- Increased measurement speed
- Trace smoothing
- SCPI automation
All of the features in the Advanced Phase Noise Measurement Tool Kit upgrade are above and beyond what was previously available in Spike. They are a value-add for anyone performing phase noise measurements. Signal Hound has always strived to give customers and users the greatest value with our products. For years we have designed test and measurement equipment that has facilitated access to tools that can be cost prohibitive. We know that a large factor when considering new equipment is price. This is why we have improved a collection of test standards in these recent upgrades.
With the upgrades to our phase noise measurement tool kit, we have increased measurement speeds by 6 times, added better smoothing performance and included enhanced post-processing capabilities. In the past, the Spike phase noise feature was limited to basic trace and marker options. It also did not include full SCPI automation. Both of these features have been upgraded in the Advanced Phase Noise Measurement Tool Kit, as well as others that will streamline your process. We are confident that the upgrades included in this affordable tool kit are worth the cost.
PN400 Phase Noise Test Solution
Additionally, Signal Hound is still offering our powerful and versatile PN400 Phase Noise Test Tool Kit that includes cross-correlation and VCO testing. You can unlock enterprise-grade accuracy and cutting-edge features for a fraction of what a standalone phase noise test unit would cost with (2) Signal Hound spectrum analyzers, the PN400 hardware, and this tool kit. The PN400 tool kit includes everything you get with the Advanced Phase Noise Measurement Tool Kit – PLUS even lower phase noise measurements utilizing cross correlation and VCO testing – adding even more value to your phase noise test solution. At a price of just $2,500 a year or our perpetual option for $10,000, the PN400 Phase Noise Test Tool Kit gives you a comprehensive phase noise test solution at a cost far below that of a traditional dedicated phase noise tester.
In a time where we all seem to be getting less for our budgets, you can be sure that Signal Hound stands by our commitment to give you premium, accurate and reliable tools. We know you need products that facilitate meeting your test and measurement objectives at a price that makes sense. We strive to be your partner in achieving that end result.
