Page 16: Overview
Description The Keysight M1970V/E/W waveguide harmonic mixer is an un-preselected mixer that is used to extend the frequency range of the Keysight X-Series signal analyzer for high-frequency wireless and millimeter wave applications. With emphasis on ease-of-use, the embedded features of the mixer will automatically transfer the conversion loss data from the mixer memory to the signal analyzer through the USB plug-and-play feature. -
