NOTE
It is important that the mixer be connected directly to the LO’s RF Output
connector. For best results in this test, the local oscillator drive to the
mixer should be =-i-4dBm.
Procedure
1. Connect equipment as shown in Figure 4-8.
Allow at least a one hour warm up time. On the LO,
press [INSTRPRESET] and [PEAK](turns PEAK on).
2. Press
the DUT’s
[INSTRPRESET]
key.
Press [POWERLEVEL].
If the
power level in the ENTRY
DISPLAY
is not 0 dBm, enter [0] [dBmJ.Press the [CW] key and enter any CW frequency in the 10
MHz to 26.5 GHz range.
3. Determine all possible harmonic frequencies of the RF signal that could fall within the 22 to 26.5
GHz range. Press [SHIFT] [M2] to display from left to right; the band number (in POWER dBm
display) and the YO frequency. Determine all possible YO harmonic frequencies that could fall
within the 22 to 26.5 GHz range.
4. Press the LO [CW] key and enter a frequency 50 MHz below the harmonic frequency to be tested.
Press the [POWERLEVEL]
key and, using
the rotary knob, increase the power level until the
UNLEVELED indicator light comes ON. Slowly decrease the power level until the UNLEVELED
light just goes OFF.
5. Press
[SAVE][1] on the DUT to save the current instrument state. Press [CW]
and enter the
harmonic frequency to be tested. Set the Spectrum Analyzer to view the 50 MHz IF signal with the
peak of the signal at the top graticule line.
6. Press [RECALL] [1] on the DUT to recall the original instrument state. The amplitude of the
harmonic displayed on the Spectrum Analyzer should be at or below the specified test.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each harmonic frequency determined in step 3.
8. Set the DUT to another CW frequency and repeat steps 3 through 7.
1. The waveguide portions of these adapters pass high frequencies and attenuate low frequencies.
