Not today. It is conceivable that the M1 Noise Calibration Procedure, currently used with SEEj RjDj Decomposition could be used to improve the RMS result. At this time we are not planning to add this capability. What is the purpose of adding the Phase Noise measurements to M1? Design Engineers want to use their scopes to make phase noise measurements. They do not want to purchase a dedicated phase noise test system. M1 can show them much more insight about phase noise than merely what is contained in the phase noise measurement group. M1 phase noise measurement are NOT just a number. It starts as a number, but the cycle-to-cycle TimeViews give designers real information about why it their phase noise is what it is. What is the advantage of the Phase Noise measurements in M1? The ability to see what’s happening in a moment-to-moment view as opposed to just a single result number.
