The Analyzer allows to perform measurements of mixers and other frequency converting devices using scalar method.
The scalar method allows measurement of the scalar transmission S-parameters of frequency converting devices. Phase and group delay measurements are not accessible in this mode. The advantage of this method is the simplicity of measurement setup (no additional equipment necessary). See figure below.
Scalar Mixer Measurement Setup
The scalar measurement method is based on frequency offset mode. Frequency offset mode enables a frequency offset between the Analyzer test ports as described in detail in Frequency Offset Mode.
