FEV frequency extension modules allow for measurement of the DUT S-parameters in the frequency range between 50 to 110 GHz.
The front and rear panels of the Module are shown in the figure below. The test port is located on the front panel. The rear panel contains a status indicator, a DC in cable connector, and a group of connectors for transmission:
•Test signal (RF INPUT)
•LO signal (LO INPUT)
•IF signal of the reference channel (IF REF)
•IF signal of the test channel (IF TEST)
