Join Keysight engineers for an in-depth exploration of mixer tests for SATCOM. They'll guide you through emerging design challenges with insights to help you stay ahead of the curve. By the end of this bootcamp, you will better understand various mixer characterization approaches for satellite communication. 

 Learn: 


• How to measure mixer gain, phase, and group delay measurements

• How to assess mixer phase noise and spurs and their impact on successful 64 QAM modulation

• How to use PNA-X VNA and S93083B Vector and SMC Measurements, S93084B Embedded LO Capability, and S930321B Phase Noise Measurement, S930905B Spectrum Analysis software


This bootcamp is ideal for RF engineers and anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of mixer tests for satellite communication.
