Millimeter-Wave Signal Generators

Millimeter-Wave Signal Generators

Create millimeter-wave signals using frequency extension source modules

Frequency extension of a microwave signal generator is possible up to 0.5 THz with the addition of an external frequency multiplier module. This allows you to create millimeter-wave stimulus to test your devices.

OML provides frequency extension source modules that connect externally to the Agilent PSG signal generator. Using external modules means that the connections are closer to the device-under-test (DUT) giving improved dynamic range. They can be interfaced to the DUT via over-the-air, on-wafer, or waveguide connections. The waveguide interface is compatible with MIL-DTL-3922/67D (UG387/U-M).

Once connected, the OML source module multiplies the PSG microwave frequency to the mm-wave spectrum. The source modules help to generate a variety of test signals, while the front panel operation is kept the same, except the readouts are in the mm-wave instead of microwave spectrum. The mm-wave signal replicates the PSG’s frequency accuracy, stability, and phase noise specifications. For active device testing an optional 25 dB manual adjustable attenuator is available.

OML’s external frequency extension source modules when combined with the Agilent PSG allow you to create mm-wave synthesized signals to test your millimeter-wave circuits and devices.
