number as “– 8”. The minus sign 
indicates that the tuned frequency is 
below the desired LO harmonic by the 
IF of 321.4 MHz. Similarly, if the 
harmonic mode of the external mixer is 
listed as “8 +”, enter the harmonic 
number as “8”.

Mixer Type 
Presel Unpre
   Allows you to select which type of mixer 
is in use. 
Mixer Type (Presel) activates a 
tuning signal that is routed to the 
PRESEL TUNE OUTPUT connector on the 
rear panel of the analyzer. This signal 
has a sensitivity of 1.5V/GHz of the LO 
frequency and drives the tune input of 
the HP/Agilent 11974 series of 
preselected mixers. The sweep rate in 
Presel mode is limited to 40 MHz/msec.
