The solution to your millimeter-wave signal source needs
The 83550-series millimeter-wave source modules provide millimeterwave test signals for waveguide bands from 26.5 to 60 GHz when driven by 11 to 20 GHz microwave sources. The 83550-series source modules offer internally-leveled high output power, full waveguide band frequency coverage, and the high frequency accuracy and resolution of the driving microwave source.
There are several ways of configuring a millimeter-wave source to best suit your specific needs. For sweptfrequency testing, choose the 8 to
20 GHz 83550A RF plug-in for the 8350B mainframe as the microwave source driver for the source module covering your frequency range.
The 83550A offers +20 dBm of internally- leveled output power from 8 to 18.6 GHz and +18 dBm from 18.6 to 20 GHz. This meets the
required input power for the source modules (+17 dBm) to give you a one-step solution.
High accur acyand resolution
Because the 83550-series source modules use frequency multiplication to generate millimeter-wave frequencies, the millimeter-wave system frequency specifications are directly proportional to those of the microwave source driving the source modules. Frequency accuracy, stability, and
resolution specifications are multiplied by a factor of either two or three depending on whether the drive frequency is doubled or tripled. For example, a millimeter-wave source based on the 8341B/8349B will have frequency resolution of 6 Hz in the 26.5 to 40 GHz band, 9 Hz in the 33 to 50 GHz band, and 9 Hz in the 4 to 60 GHz band.
Scalar network analysis
Scalar measurements to 110 GHz are facilitated by the use of the Agilent 83550 series millimeter-wave source modules. When these modules are
driven by an 11 to 20 GHz, > +17 dBm microwave source, such as the Agilent 83623B, 83624B, or any source in conjunction with an Agilent 8349B amplifier, they provide waveguide frequency coverage to 110 GHz. These efficient frequency multipliers offer internally leveled, high output power, and the high frequency accuracy and resolution of the driving microwave source.
