Summary:A novel method for high frequency microwave phase noise measurement by photonic microwave down-conversion based on an optoelectronic oscillator is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The measurement of single-sideband phase noise of the 10-12 GHz microwave signals under test are obtained. The phase noise floor of the measurement system is -140 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset.
