Abstract

We present the first experimental study of a newtype of power recycling microwave interferometer designed forlow noise measurements. This system enhances sensitivity tophase fluctuations in a device under test, independent of inputpower levels. The single sideband thermal white phase noisefloor of the system has been lowered by 8 dB (reaching −185dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset frequency) at relatively low powerlevels (13 dBm).
