3.8.3 Introductory Example of Operation
The following example gives an example of the operation of external mixers as well as
the required settings: A sine wave signal with f = 14.5 GHz is applied to the input of a
multiplier. The spectrum at the multiplier output is to be recorded in the range of 52 to
60 GHz using a 2-port mixer for the V band. The mixer used is a double-diode mixer.
The example of operation is described in the following steps:
●
Test Setup
●
Activating the External Mixer and Selecting the Mode
●
Default Settings
●
Level Correction
