5120A
ACCURATE, COST EFFECTIVE
MEASUREMENTS IN SECONDS
Making accurate phase noise and Allan
deviation measurements has never been
easier or more cost effective. The all-digital
5120A High-Performance Phase Noise and
Allan Deviation (ADEV) Test Set with Ultra
Low Noise Floor transforms the way these
measurements are made. Traditional measurement
instruments require an external
phase-lock loop, turning these types of
measurements into a complicated and costly
endeavor. Compare this with the 5120A,
which makes fast yet accurate single sideband
(SSB) phase noise and ADEV measurements
at the click of a button, all at a fraction of
the cost of alternative solutions.
Symmetricom’s 5120A is the easiest to use
phase noise and ADEV test set in the world:
simply connect the device under test (DUT)
and reference signal (which can be at a different
frequency than the DUT) and press
the 5120A’s green Start button. Seconds
later valid measurement data appears on
the unit’s high resolution display. With the
all-digital 5120A, tedious multi-step configuration
and calibration routines are no
longer required.
The 5120A leverages the extensive knowledge
and experience obtained by Symmetricom
during the development of the industry
standard for ADEV measurements, the 5110A.
In addition to top of the line ADEV measurement
capability, the next generation 5120A
provides phase noise measurement accuracy
to previously impossible levels of ±1.0 dB. This
combined with the best-in-industry phase
noise and ADEV measurement floor means
that with the 5120A you can characterize
even your lowest noise references more
accurately than ever before.

Symmetricom’s mastery of phase noise and
ADEV measurement techniques as well as
recent advances in high speed, low noise
analog to digital converters, has allowed the
combination of multiple measurement tools
to be integrated into a single, one box solution.
This enables the 5120A to make more
accurate measurements while remaining
cost effective.
For further convenience, Symmetricom
has added an internal reference oscillator
option for the 5120A. This one box solution,
known as the 5120A-01, saves you the time
of procuring and calibrating an external
reference. After making just one connection
from the DUT to the 5120A-01, you can begin
making accurate measurements.
The 5120A brings a paradigm shift to the way
that phase noise and ADEV measurements
are made. With the 5120A, measurements
that used to be complicated and costly are
now faster, easier, more accurate and more
cost effective in both R&D and production
environments.
