Operation
Using a PSA Series Spectrum Analyzer
Operation
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until the green LEDs are lit at both frequencies without additional
adjustments.
Band Selection
1. If necessary, configure the analyzer for preselected external mixing by pressing the
following keys:
Input/Output, Input Mixer (Ext), Mixer Config, Mixer Type (Presel)
2. If necessary, adjust the tracking of the Agilent 11974 to the analyzer being used for
preselected external mixing, by using the Frequency Tracking Calibration procedure
above.
3. Press the following keys to select the desired mixing band: (In this example, we will use
an Agilent 11974Q (33.0 to 50.0 GHz) to view a 40 GHz, -15 dBm signal.)
Input/Output, Input Mixer, Ext Mix Band, 33-50 GHz (Q)
Amplitude Calibration
1. Enter the conversion loss versus frequency data from one of three sources.
• From a Conversion Loss Data Disk, supplied with your mixer. See “Using a
Conversion-Loss Data Disk with the ESA or PSA Series Analyzers” on page 38.
• Data from the calibration sheet supplied with your mixer.
• From conversion-loss data located on the mixer body label. See “Manually Entering
Conversion-Loss Data” on page 89
2. To correct for the conversion-loss of the harmonic mixer in use, the analyzer amplitude
correction feature is used. Access this feature by pressing,
Amplitude Y Scale, More,
Corrections. Select a correction set for use with external mixing. The recommended set
to use is
Other although any available set could be used. Press Correction until On is
underlined.
