Sidebands

The file calculates and plots FM noise sidebands for a carrier. It also does sinusoidal modulation. This simple way of adding noise to a carrier is useful for simulation of PLLs. It turns out, though, that the mean of the randn function is not as close to zero as it could be, and this causes the... Platforms: Matlab

This program converts the noise sidebands to power, adds in an estimate of the power for CW spurs, then calculates the jitter from this. It is not really exact, but it is simple and allows for an easy estimate of the jitter and phase noise without special tools. Platforms: Matlab
