[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the present invention are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, such that the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects. For example, the first object may be one or more.

[0050] In existing technology, a phase noise measurement system consists of a source under test and two reference sources. The reference source signals are set to be co-frequency and orthogonal to the source under test signal. The source under test signal is split into two signals via a power divider. Each source under test signal is mixed with two independent reference signals through a phase detector. The high-frequency components are then filtered out through a low-pass filter to obtain the measured phase noise signal. A low-noise amplifier (LNA) amplifies the phase noise signal to an appropriate power range. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) chip converts the analog signal to a digital signal, producing two real-valued signals. These two real-valued signals are then processed using a multi-stage cross-correlation processing module.

[0051] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a single-stage cross-correlation processing module provided by the prior art. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, each level of cross-correlation processing module includes an overlap module, a windowing module, two Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) modules (i.e., FFT module 1 and FFT module 2), a cross-correlation module, and an integration module. and Perform fast Fourier transform to obtain the corresponding two-way frequency domain complex signals and ,in means The conjugate of the two FFT modules accounts for approximately 60% to 70% of the resources consumed by each cross-correlation processing module. Multi-level cross-correlation processing modules require significant resources. The design requires the use of a high-performance, large-capacity Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chip as the core processing device, which inevitably results in higher power consumption, larger size, and higher cost.

[0052] Existing phase noise measurement systems and methods have the following drawbacks:

[0053] (1) The system is relatively complex and requires two independent, very clean, and electronically adjustable reference sources;

[0054] (2) Cross-correlation calculation is relatively complex and requires more processing resources;

[0055] (3) It is very time-consuming to measure ultra-low phase noise;

[0056] (4) The measured frequency bandwidth must match the adjustment range of the reference source.

[0057] To this end, an embodiment of the present invention provides a phase noise measurement method, device, electronic device, and storage medium. The method includes dividing a signal to be measured into a first signal and a second signal, mixing the first signal and a first reference signal to obtain a first real signal; mixing the second signal and a second reference signal to obtain a second real signal; concatenating the first real signal and the second real signal to obtain a complex signal; performing Fourier transform on the complex signal to obtain a frequency domain complex signal; separating a first frequency domain complex signal and a second frequency domain complex signal from the frequency domain complex signal; and performing cross-correlation operation on the first frequency domain complex signal and the second frequency domain complex signal to obtain a phase noise measurement result of the signal to be measured. The present invention can simplify the data processing process, improve measurement efficiency, reduce resource consumption, and reduce hardware costs.

[0088] wherein denotes the conjugate of , denotes the second frequency domain complex signal with frequency domain index .

[0089] Optionally, the complex signal is expressed as:
