Waveguide Harmonic Mixers
Technical Overviews
Introduction
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. M1970E/V/W waveguide harmonic mixers are un-preselected mixers designed to extend the frequency range of Keysight’s high-performance signal analyzers (N9040B UXA, N9030A PXA, N9020A MXA, and N9010A EXA) for millimeter-wave applications up to 110 GHz.
Embedded with smart features, the smart mixers provide the most efficient test setup and measurement accuracy that’s needed in demanding mixer application test environment. These smart mixers use a simple USB plug-and-play connection that can automatically configure the UXA, PXA, MXA and EXA to detect the specific mixer connected, then download conversion loss data and automatically compensate for local oscillator path loss. Therefore, it greatly shortens the overall start up operation and technically improves the overall DANL and TOI of your test systems with excellent conversion loss and amplitude accuracy.
Break free from conventional harmonic mixing test methods and discover the smarter solution using the M1970E/V/W waveguide harmonic mixers and the N9040B UXA, N9030A PXA, N9020A MXA and N9010A EXA signal analyzer solutions.
