  • Page 18: Purpose And Function

    Figure 2-1 M1742A used as an RF interface On the left side of the M1742A in the diagram, the Tx IF In port takes an input from the test system and upconverts it to the higher range of the DUT. Signals received from the DUT are downconverted and returned to the test system from the Rx IF Out port.

  • Page 20: Initial Inspection

    — Contact the nearest Keysight Technologies office. — Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s inspection. — If you must return a test set to Keysight Technologies, use the undamaged original or comparable shipping materials. See “Returning the M1742A for Service”...

  • Page 21: 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 RF 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.

    — Red: variable-frequency LO input to the M1742A, used in generating an LO input to the upconverter and downconverter. — Brown: 4.8/9.6 GHz input to the M1742A, used in generating an LO input to the upconverter and downconverter. — Orange: generated LO signal to the upconverter and downconverter.
  • Page 36 Functionality Signal Routing The Tx/Rx ports are half-duplex: each one can function as a transmit port or a receive port (although not simultaneously). In the illustration below, the green transmit path can be routed either to RF Tx/Rx 1 (as in the upper picture) or to RF Tx/Rx 2 (as in the lower picture).
