Measurements of Phase Fluctuations

Abstract: In this Tutorial, I’ll discuss the following topics: 

1. Common types of phase fluctuations;  

2. Analytical description of phase fluctuations in the Frequency and Time Domains; 

3. Measurements of phase fluctuations at microwave and optical frequencies. 

4. Phase noise in Microwave oscillators; 

5. Generation of low-phase noise microwaves. 

Bio:  Eugene Ivanov received the Ph.D. degree in Radio-physics from the Moscow Power Engineering Institute in 1987. In 1991, he joined the Physics Department at the University of Western Australia. In 1999-2019, he worked as a Visiting Scientist in Boulder Laboratories (NIST, Boulder, Colorado).  His research interests include oscillator frequency stabilization and precision noise measurements.
