Second IF

In this mode the 2nd IF output is routed to the rear panel connector. The annotation on the key shows the
current 2nd IF frequency in use in the analyzer.
The frequency of the 2nd IF depends on the current IF signal path as shown in the table below:
IF Path Selected
10 MHz
25 MHz
40 MHz
140 MHz
The signal quality, such as signal to noise ratio and phase noise, are excellent in this mode.

I/Q Guided Calibration
Calibrating the Baseband I/Q ports requires several steps and manual connections. The Guided
Calibration will interactively step you through the required steps, displaying diagrams to help with the
connections. The steps will vary depending on the setup.
In the Guided Calibration windows, the date and time of the last calibration are displayed. If any of the
items listed are displayed in yellow, this indicates that the calibration for that item is inconsistent with the
latest calibration, and you should complete the entire calibration process before you exit the calibration.
I/Q Isolation Calibration
The I/Q Isolation Calibration must be run before calibrating any port with either the I/Q Cable Calibration or
I/Q Probe Calibration. This calibration is performed with nothing connected to any of the front panel I/Q
