Fast and Accurate Frequency Converter Characterization

Why is this webcast is important
This webcast discusses new methods for characterizing frequency converters with external or embedded local oscillators, using Agilent’s PNA-X high-performance network analyzer and the latest measurement algorithms. Compared to legacy systems built around spectrum analyzers and standalone signal sources, modern VNA-based systems are much faster, and more accurate, and they can accomplish many measurements with a single connection to the device under test. Featured measurements include a new method for measuring group delay without the use of reference or calibration mixers, plus gain compression versus frequency, swept intermodulation distortion, and source-corrected noise figure.

Who should attend
Engineers or technicians in R&D or manufacturing that need to fully characterize the behavior of RF or microwave frequency converters.
