System Performance with the E5053A Microwave Downconverter – cont’d
About “mmW pplication”:
Phase noise measurements above 26.5 GHz can be done by using
external harmonic mixers (such as Agilent 11970 series) and a
power divider (splitter) with E5053A LO and IF terminals. The
E5052B’s mmW application software sets up appropriate
LO frequencies for the harmonic mixers.
