Example Measurements
An HP 8510C equipped with the mm-wave test set, (its multiple source
operation, waveguide line stretcher, frequency list mode, and other features),
is capable of making measurements with unprecedented speed, accuracy,
and convenience. The measurement examples that follow are useful for
showing waveguide measurements.
Transmission
Measurements
The frequency conversion technique used by the HP 85104 Series test set
module allows high dynamic range measurements of mm-wave components.
The transmission signal path noise floor can vary depending upon the
frequency range and source RF power available at the test port. A quick
check of dynamic range is performed using the Response & Isolation
calibration with the test ports in the final measurement configuration.
Choose the smallest averaging factor that provides the needed noise floor.
Figure 2-5 illustrates the transmission response of a 44 GHz bandpass filter
measured from 33 GHz to 50 GHz.
