Determine Classical Phase Noise from EVM

Started by maxplus 2 years ago8 replieslatest reply 2 years ago265 views

Hello

I want to derive the phase noise profile for a given EVM thst satisfy certain SNR and Rx sensitivity. 

How do I determine the classical phase noise please?

see paper tagged below ( I coudn't attach it for some reason) It shows evm plots for different anomalies in modulation process

Hi Maxplus,

I wrote a blog post: "Model Signal Impairments at Complex Baseband" that computes a QAM constellation with added phase noise.  It also calculates MER (modulation error ratio).  https://www.dsprelated.com/showarticle/1312.php.

regards,

Neil

Thank you. I shall look into this. To determine the classical phase noise of PLL from EVM, do you need to know the integration BW.

I understand that integration BW is a function of modulation BW, what is the rule of thumb for specifying it.

I haven't tried to calculate phase noise from EVM or MER. I used to measure the noise spectrum of the unmodulated carrier on a spectrum analyzer and record the noise density in dB (1 Hz) at the desired frequencies.

here is paper Vector Signal Analyzer Implemented as a Synthetic Instrument.

I can't attach paper,,, send me an email address and I'll pass it on

Hey fred,  could you please email me a copy of the paper as well?  I need to figure out why you are unable to attach it to your message.

Thanks!
