The invention discloses a digitized gapless
phase noise measurement method based on group phase characteristic
processing. The method comprises the following steps of: shaping a reference
signal provided by a reference source into a
rectangular pulse signal, carrying out
frequency conversion on a
signal to be measured and the
rectangular pulse signal under the action of a controller, feeding the two signals which are subjected to the
frequency conversion into a coincident point detection circuit together, and carrying out phase
coincidence detection, wherein the phase shift
processing is carried out on the
rectangular pulse signal so as to accelerate a phase detection speed and accurately capture phase
coincidence points; meanwhile, taking the phase
coincidence points between the two signals as a measurement gate, and simultaneously starting up a counter to carry out gapless counting measurement on gate time, and reflecting the amplitude of
phase noise by using the change of count values among the phase coincidence points; and finally, carrying out
digital signal processing on
time domain data which are measured when no gap gates exist, and displaying the single-
sideband phase noise curve of the signal to be measured under the cooperation of a
fast Fourier transform algorithm. The digitized gapless phase
noise measurement method has the characteristics of
simple circuit, high accuracy, capability of directly carrying out phase coincidence point detection on different-frequency signals, and the like.
