The fluctuation of the carriers in the base region acts on the base thickness, thus on the gain, and on the capacitance of the reverse-biased basecollector junction. Field-effect transistor. The fluctuation of the carriers in the channel acts on the drain-source current, and also on the gatechannel capacitance because the distance between the `electrodes' is affected by the channel thickness. Laser amplifier. The fluctuation of the pump power acts on the density of the excited atoms, and in turn on gain, on maximum power, and on refraction index. a=0.4 b=0.92 c=d=0 a=b=0 c=d=0.7 AM and PM fluctuations are correlated because originate from the same near-dc random process

26 The spectrum is Agilent. The figure is from E. Rubiola, Phase noise and frequency stability in oscillators, Cambridge University Press Analysis of commercial oscillators 26 The purpose of this section is to help to understand the oscillator inside from the phase noise spectra, plus some technical information. I have chosen some commercial oscillators as an example. The conclusions about each oscillator represent only my understanding based on experience and on the data sheets published on the manufacturer web site. You should be aware that this process of interpretation is not free from errors. My conclusions were not submitted to manufacturers before writing, for their comments could not be included.

99 Acknowledgements 99 I am grateful to Lute Maleki and to John Dick for numerous discussions during my visits at the NASA JPL, which are the first seed of my approach to the oscillator noise I am indebted to a number of colleagues and friends for invitations and stimulating discussions - dr. Tim Berenc, ANL, Argonne - dr. Holger Schlarb, DESY, Hambourg - prof. Theodor W. Hänsch and dr. Thomas Udem, MPQ-QO, München This material would never have existed without continuous discussions, help and support of Vincent Giordano, FEMTO-ST, over about 5 years This presentation is based on E.Rubiola, Phase noise and frequency stability in oscillators, Cambridge 2008, and on the complementary material E. Rubiola, R. Brendel, A generalization of the Leeson effect, arxiv: [physics.ins-det] Please visit my home page
100 Summary of relevant points 00 The Leeson effect consists in a phase-to-frequency conversion fully explained as a phase (noise) integration takes place below fl = ν0/2q The step response provides analytical solutions and physical inside. (Same formalism introduced by O. Heaviside in network theory) Buffer noise and resonator instability add to the Leeson effect Amplifier phase noise white noise: Sφ scales down as the carrier power P0 flicker noise: Sφ is independent of P0 Numerous oscillator spectra can be interpreted successfully The amplitude-noise response is similar to phase noise, but gain compression provides stabilization at low frequencies The theory indicates that amplitude-phase coupling results in a deviation from the polynomial law Unified AM/PM noise that applies to resonator-oscillators and to delay-line oscillators, including optical oscillators A bunch of free material is available on the author s home page
