  • Page 17: Location And Mounting

    Quick Start Location and Mounting Location and Mounting It is recommended to suspend the transceiver above the Device Under Test (DUT), with the mmWave port pointed downwards at the DUT, so that heat given off by the transceiver will rise away from the DUT. Leave a minimum clearance of 2.5 inches (7 cm) around the transceiver.

    This port can be used either to accept an IF input to the upconverter in the M1740A (this is the test signal to be upconverted and sent to the DUT) or to provide the IF output of the downconverter in the M1740A (this is the downconverted return signal from the DUT).

  • Page 27 The IF output signal generated by the downconverter can be routed to the bi-directional IF In/Out port or the bi-directional LO/IF Out port. Signal routing is controlled from the instrument to which the M1740A is connected; the combined signal at the LO/Pwr/Ctrl/IF In port includes a control signal for this purpose.
  • Page 28: Configuration Example: M1740A Used With E7760B

    E7760B are able to provide a combined IF, LO, DC, and Control signal to the LO/Pwr/Ctrl/IF In port of the M1740A. In the example illustrated below, the IF test signal to the DUT (generated by the E7760B) is applied to the LO/Pwr/Ctrl/IF In port.
  • Page 29 Functionality Configuration Example: M1740A used with E7760B The same example setup is illustrated below, in a broader view. The M1740A up-converts an output from the E7760B A1 port to the higher frequency range of the DUT. A returned signal from the DUT is downconverted and delivered (by way of the LO/IF Out port) to the E7760B B1 port.
