2 Basic Setup for M8100A
 
Case 2 Connecting PSG to an M8199A module
Keysight M8257D, Opt. 567, 1EU, UNY (referred to as PSG) is an 
alternative to the M8008A clock module that can be used as a clock 
source. In this case, connect the 1.85 mm, 45 cm M8199A-810 
replacement channel clock cable (M8199-61624) from the PSG Output to 
Clk In of M8199A.
The output power needs to be set at the PSG for various sample clock 
frequencies. The output power level should start at 7dBm at 50 GHz and 
should be increased linearly to 11 dBm at 60 GHz. This means, as we 
increase the frequency from 50 GHz to 60 GHz, there is a linear increase in 
the output power from 7 dBm to 11 dBm. Above 60 GHz, a power level of 
11 dBm should be used.
The following table shows the required output power level at different 
frequencies:
