  • Page 12: Introduction

    Comb generators generate frequency harmonics at integer multiples of an RF input signal. Generally, comb generators available in the open market today are made with SRD diodes. The U9391C/F/G comb generator is based on the Keysight InP MMIC technology to ensure superior phase stability of the combs.
  • Page 13 This module has a trigger output which enables synchronization with the pulse’s repetition frequency. Calibration data stored inside the U9391C/F/G can be accessed directly by the PNA-X via the USB interface to be used in phase calibration.

    – Gage connectors periodically. This not only provides assurance of proper mechanical tolerances, and thus connector performance, but can also indicate situations where the potential for damage to another connector may exist. The U9391C/F/G modules can be damaged if excessive torque is applied to CAUTION the connectors.

    10MHz reference output and the input to comb generator. NVNA Two units of U9391C/F/G are required to carry out non-linear measurements. One unit is used as the phase reference module and the second unit as the phase calibration module.
  • Page 23 The phase calibration procedure is carried out by following the on-screen instructions on the PNA-X. After completing the calibration, the U9391C/F/G unit used for phase calibration can be disconnected. The other unit that is used as the phase reference will remain connected while the measurement is carried out.
