IF Up-Conversion (Option 7) Two look-up tables of 65,536 points can be used to generate two pseudo-random waveforms, one for amplitude modulation and the Option 7 adds an internal mixer that can be used for the generic other for frequency or phase modulation. The download files are up-conversion of an IF signal. The mixer’s RF, LO, and IF ports are simple space-delimited text files containing integer numbers made available at the rear panel of the MG3690A, via three female between 0 and 4095, wh

mmW Frequency Coverage Millimeter Wave Multipliers (54000 Series plus Option 18) External multipliers can be added to the MG3690A to provide coverage as high as 110 GHz. Please call us for solutions beyond 110 GHz. The 54000 series multipliers provide 50 to 75 GHz coverage in WR15 or 75 to 110 GHz in WR10. An MG3690A with Option 18, mmW bias, is required to drive these multipliers. The MG3692A provides the input frequencies which are below 20 GHz. Higher frequency MG3690A models could be used, b
