The origin of frequency instability and noise in oscillators

  • Date: Dec 9, 2009
  • Time: 09:00 AM - 09:00 AM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Prof. Enrico Rubiola, Université de Franche Comté and the Department of Time and Frequency of the FEMTO-ST Institute, Besançon, France
  • Room: Herbert Walther Lecture Hall
  • Host: MPQ
Prof. Rubiola has worked on various topics of electronics and metrology, navigation systems, time and frequency comparisons, and Cs frequency standards. His main fields of interest are precision electronics form dc to microwaves and phase noise metrology, which include frequency synthesis, high spectral purity oscillators, photonic systems, sophisticated instrumentation, and noise. He has developed a new generation of instruments for AM/PM noise measurement with ultimate sensitivity, based on synchronous detection of the error signal in a sophisticated version of the Wheatstone bridge, and on a variety of signal-processing methods. The course will consist of three lectures Dec 2nd: General metrology of amplitude and phase noise Dec 9th: The origin of frequency instability and noise in oscillators Dec 11th: The cross-spectrum experimental method
