Making Mixer Measurements
Conversion Loss Using the Frequency Offset Mode
Figure 2-15 Conversion Loss Example Measurement
In this measurement, you set the input power and measured the output power. Figure 2-15
shows the absolute loss through the mixer versus mixer output frequency. If the mixer
under test contained built-in amplification, then the measurement results would have
shown conversion gain.
