Operation
Using the Mixers with the E4407B Spectrum Analyzer
(Option AYZ)
The Agilent Technologies E4407B spectrum analyzer contains an extensive menu of
functions that help with millimeter measurements. The following examples explain how to
connect external mixers to the spectrum analyzer, how to choose the band of interest, how
to store and activate conversion-loss factors, and how to use the signal-identification
functions.
Set up the equipment
1. Connect the signal source and harmonic mixer to the analyzer, as shown in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2 Harmonic Mixer Setup
NOTE Agilent 5061-5458 SMA type cables should be used to connect the mixer IF
and LO ports to the analyzer. Do not over-tighten the cables. The maximum
torque should not exceed 112 N-cm (10 in-lb.)
