Configuring the Signal Generator
1.
Turn on the signal generator’s line power.
NOTE
Refer to the mm-wave source module specifications for the specific
frequency and amplitude ranges.
2.
Press
Frequency

Source Module
, toggle the
Keysight 8355x
Source Module Off On
softkey to On. The signal generator will:
—
recognize the Keysight mm-wave source module,
—
switch the leveling mode to external/source module (power is
leveled at the mm-wave source module output),
—
set the mm-wave source module frequency and amplitude to the
source module’s preset values, and
—
display the RF output frequency and amplitude values available at
the mm-wave source module output when enabled
When the 8355x series mm-wave source is enable via the front panel
Keysight 8355x Source Module Off On softkey, the MMOD indicator in the
FREQUENCY area and the MM indicator in the AMPLITUDE area will
appear on the signal generator’s display.
3.
If the
RF OFF
annunciator is displayed, press
RF On/Off
.
Leveled power should be available at the output of the millimeter-wave source
module.
To obtain flatness-corrected power, refer to
Flatness Correction” on page 151
Using Other Source Modules
Use the following procedure to extend the frequency range of the PSG with any
external source module, or to use the Keysight 8355x series millimeter-wave
source module’s without automatic leveling. The following is a list of
equipment required for extending the frequency range of the signal generator:
— external millimeter-wave source module
— Keysight 8349B or other microwave amplifier (required only for the
E8257D PSG without Option 1EA, 1EU, or 521)
— RF output cables and adapters as required
Setting Up the External Source Module
1.
Turn off the signal generator’s line power.
2.
Connect the equipment as shown.
