Remote command:

Mixer Type ← External Mixer Setup ← External Mixer Config ← External Mixer
The R&S FSVA/FSV option B21 allows for the following external mixer types:
"2 Port"
LO and IF data uses the same port
"3 Port"
LO and IF data uses separate ports
Remote command:
[SENSe:]MIXer:PORTs on page 828
Harmonic Type ← External Mixer Setup ← External Mixer Config ← External
Mixer
Defines if only even, only odd, or even and odd harmonics can be used for conversion.
Depending on this selection, the order of harmonic to be used for conversion changes
(see "Harmonic Order" on page 527).
Remote command:
[SENSe:]MIXer:HARMonic:TYPE on page 827
Range 1/2 ← External Mixer Setup ← External Mixer Config ← External Mixer
Enables the use of a second harmonic to cover the band's frequency range.
For each range you can define which harmonic to use and how the Conversion Loss is
handled.
Remote command:
[SENSe:]MIXer:HARMonic:HIGH:STATe on page 826
Harmonic Order ← Range 1/2 ← External Mixer Setup ← External Mixer Config ←
External Mixer
Defines which of the available harmonic orders are used to cover the frequency range.
By default, the lowest order of the specified harmonic type is selected that allows con-
version of input signals in the whole band. If due to the LO frequency the conversion is
not possible using one harmonic, the band is splitted.
For the band "USER", the order of harmonic is defined by the user. The order of har-
monic can be between 2 and 100, the lowest usable frequency being 26,5 GHz.
Remote command:
[SENSe:]MIXer:HARMonic[:LOW] on page 826
[SENSe:]MIXer:HARMonic:HIGH[:VALue] on page 826
Conversion Loss ← Range 1/2 ← External Mixer Setup ← External Mixer Config
← External Mixer
Defines how the conversion loss is handled. The following possibilities are available:
"Average"
Defines the average conversion loss for the entire range in dB.
