Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The objective of the thesis is the development of a phase noise measuring system that makes
use of crosscorrelation and averaging to measure below the system hardware noise floor.
Various phase noise measurement techniques are considered after which the phase demodulation
method is chosen to be implemented. The full development cycle of the hardware is
discussed, as well as the post processing that is performed on the measured phase noise. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie tesis is die ontwikkeling van ’n faseruis meetstelsel wat gebruik maak
van kruiskorrelasie en vergemiddeling om onder die ruisvloer van die meetstelsel se hardeware
te meet.
Verskeie faseruis meettegnieke word ondersoek en die fase demodulasie metode word gekies
om geïmplementeer te word. Die volle ontwikkelingsiklus van die hardeware word bespreek,
sowel as die naverwerking wat toegepas is op die gemete faseruis.
