Agilent 11974 Series
Preselected Millimeter Mixers
RF Sections Available in Four Bands
from 26.5 to 75 GHz
Data Sheet
For the first time, preselected
signal analysis is available to
75 GHz. With preselection, you can
quickly and easily characterize all
signals of interest. No images or
multiples are displayed to confuse
the measurement. Time consuming
signal-identification routines are
eliminated.
development and verification time will
be reduced and your measurement
times will be decreased. Simply place
a marker on a signal—all responses
are real—and perform a preselector
peak. The analyzer then displays
the amplitude and frequency of the
signal. No time is lost creating and
running signal identification routines,
which used to be required to separate
true responses from multiples and
images.
Figure 1 shows how true signals can
be obscured by displayed multiples
and images in an unpreselected
system. Figure 2 shows how only the
true signals are displayed when an
Agilent Technologies 11974 Series
preselected millimeter mixer is used
in making the measurement.
Each 11974 Series preselected
millimeter mixer is characterized for
conversion loss versus frequency.
Calibration accuracy ranges from
1 dB at 26.5 GHz to 2 dB at 75 GHz.
Just enter the conversion loss data
into your host spectrum analyzer
and then make amplitude-calibrated
measurements.
