Downconverter Operation

This chapter contains procedures for using the HP 70427A Microwave
Downconverter Module with the HP 3048A and HP 3047A Phase Noise
Measurement Systems.
The first four procedures are for user control of the HP 70427A for use with
either the HP 3048A or HP 3047A systems.
•
Phase Noise Measurement <26.5 GHz . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . User Control
•
Millimeter Phase Noise Measurement . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . User Control
•
AM Noise Measurement (Input AM detector) . . . . . . . . . . User Control
•
AM Noise Measurement (IF AM detector). . . . . . . . . . . . . User Control
The next for procedures are for system control of the HP 70427A
with HP 3048A software versions A.03.00 and later.
•
Phase Noise Measurement <26.5 GHZ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . System Control
•
Millimeter Phase Noise Measurement . . . . . . . . . . . . . . System Control
•
AM Noise Measurement (Input AM detector) . . . . . . . . System Control
•
AM Noise Measurement (IF AM detector). . . . . . . . . . . System Control
The final two procedures are for connecting the phase noise
measurement system's RF spectrum analyzer to the downconverter.
•
Spectrum Analyzer connection . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . User Control
•
Spectrum Analyzer connection . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . System Control
These procedures assume a knowledge of HP 3048A phase noise
measurement system setup, measurement definition, and operation.
