This paper presents a new measurement approach which has been developed as a practical method for quick, accurate and low cost measurements of close-in offset phase noise of microwave free-running oscillators. To overcome the shortcomings of conventional measurement methods, this approach utilizes the injection locking technique to stabilize the free-running oscillator and down-convert the oscillator noise to baseband. Theoretical and experimental studies clearly demonstrate the accuracy, the effectiveness and the flexibility of this measurement technique. The phase noise of voltage controlled oscillators (VCO's) at 2.5 and 9.3 GHz have been measured to verify the new approach
