Millimeter-Wave Source Modules
You can extend the signal generator’s RF frequency using an Keysight 8355x
series millimeter-wave source module or any other external source module.
The output frequency range depends on the frequency range of the mm-wave
source module. This section contains the following procedures:
— Using Keysight Millimeter-Wave Source Modules
— Using Other Source Modules
Using Keysight Millimeter-Wave Source Modules
The Keysight 8355x series millimeter-wave source module connects to the
signal generator’s rear panel SOURCE MODULE INTERFACE connector and
allows for direct communication between the instruments as well as providing
for automatic leveling control of the source module. If you want to use an
8355x series source module without the automatic leveling or multiplier
selection features, then refer to the section
“Using Other Source Modules” on
.
The following is a list of equipment required for extending the frequency range
of the signal generator:
— Keysight 8355x series millimeter-wave source module
— Keysight 8349B microwave amplifier (required only for the E8257D PSG
without Options 1EA, 1EU, or 521)
— RF output cables and adapters as required
NOTE
Maximum insertion loss for cables and adapters connected to the E8267D
PSG or E8257D PSG with Options 1EA, 1EU, or 521, should be less than 1.5
dB. This will ensure maximum power from the external source module.
Setting Up the External Source Module
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the signal generator, turn off the line power to the
signal generator before connecting the source module interface cable to the
rear panel SOURCE MODULE INTERFACE connector.
1.
Turn off the signal generator’s line power.
2.
Connect the equipment as shown.
