NIST’s Phase Noise Metrology Group is a world leader in measuring and calibrating noise components in oscillators and frequency synthesizers. Their advanced facilities allow them to characterize various types of noise, ultimately leading to improved components and techniques for new applications.
Noise causes random fluctuations in signal frequency, phase, and amplitude, manifesting as frequency modulation (FM), phase modulation (PM), and amplitude modulation (AM). NIST’s group aims to support high-precision noise measurements, contribute to fundamental improvements in spectral purity, and provide certified noise measurement capabilities to various organizations.
The group periodically has openings for Postdoctoral Fellows, Visiting Scientists, and Graduate Students to join their research efforts.
