    Theory Of Operation 4-7 ME7838E4 System Operation – Broadband Configuration In the 3736B test set, the RF signal is amplified and then routed to the Port 3 RF Output or Port 4 RF Output via a transfer switch and fed to the Port 3 and Port 4 3744A mmWave Modules. In the 3744A mmWave Module, the frequency of the RF signal is either doubled or tripled and then output to the DUT.
