Hardware Elements

The combination of this test equipment provides waveform generation and analysis up to millimeter-wave frequencies with up to 2 GHz

of modulation bandwidth. A Keysight representative can help to recommend the best hardware configuration based on the specific

application needs.

M8190A AXIe 12 GS/s arbitrary waveform generator

The M8190A AWG is used to drive an E8267D PSG vector signal generator equipped with

wideband external I/Q inputs (option 016) to produce modulation bandwidths of up to

2 GHz on carrier signals up to 44 GHz. The M8190A is a 2-channel precision AWG that

can operate with 14-bit resolution at up to 8 GSa/s or 12-bit resolution up to 12 GSa/s. It

has 5 GHz of analog bandwidth and 2 GSa of memory per channel.

E8267D PSG vector signal generator

The E8267D PSG vector signal generator provides wide-band signal generation to 44 GHz

The PSG includes wideband differential external I/Q inputs for modulation bandwidths

up to 2 GHz. For signal generation above 44 GHz, upconverters are available from

Keysight (58 to 64 GHz with N5152A) and N9029AV12 Virginia Diodes Inc. (60 to 90 GHz).

MXG microwave analog signal generators (N5183B) are used to provide the LOs for the

millimeter-wave upconverters.

N5183B MXG microwave analog signal generators are used to provide LOs for the

millimeter-wave upconverters and downconverters.

N5152A upconverter & N1999A downconverter

Contact Keysight for details.

The N5152A upconverter and N1999A downconverter were designed specifically for use

with 802.11ad systems. Both the upconverter and downconverter use a 5 GHz IF. The

upconverter has an output power of up to +5 dBm and also includes filters to produce

an image free output. The downconverter uses a preamp to enable low level signals for

analysis. An attenuator is included to optimize system performance.

N9029AV12-UDC/N9029AV15-UDC Millimeter-wave upconverter/

downconverter

www.keysight.com/find/SA_mmwave

The N9029AV15 & N9029AV12 millimeter-wave signal analyzer frequency extension

modules, offered by VDI, Inc., cover the V-Band (50 to 75 GHz) and E-Band (60 to 90

GHz) respectively. The standard units are downconverters, and with option UDC, a

single unit can be configured via jumpers to be either an upconverter or downconverter.

This enables upconverting IF signals from a PSG to millimeter-wave or downconverting

millimeter-wave signals to IF for analysis with an oscilloscope or signal analyzer.
