MaxMixL   
 
Set the max input level of the mixer according to the magnitude of the signal. 
 
Key Points: 
  For a larger input signal, select a smaller maximum mixing level to increase 
the input attenuation and reduce the distortion of the signal; for a smaller 
input signal, select a larger maximum mixing level to reduce the input 
attenuation and noise. 
  Parameters in inequality (2-3) are always modified on the basis of the 
maximum mixing level.   
  You can modify this parameter using the numeric keys, knob or direction keys. 
For more details, please refer to “Parameter Setting”.  
 
Table 2-12 Maximum Mixing Level 
Parameter  Explanation 
Default  -10 dBm 
Range  -30 dBm to 0 dBm 
Unit  dBm, -dBm, mV, uV 
1 dBm 
10 dBm 
 
 
Input Impedance 
 
Set the input impedance for voltage-to-power conversions (refer to equation (2-4)). 
The default is 50 Ω.  To  measure a 75 Ω device, you should use a 75 Ω to 50 Ω 
adapter (option) supplied by RIGOL to connect the analyzer with the system 
under test and then set the input impedance to 75 Ω.  
 
Note: “75 Ω” will be shown in the status bar on the screen in this situation.
