Testing Millimeter-Wave Mixers Using Converters of the R&S®ZVA Family

The converters offered for the R&S^®ZVA family extend the network analyzers' frequency range up to 325 GHz. This Application Note describes typical measurements on millimeter-wave mixers and millimeter-wave frontends. It also discusses a signal identification method that enables spurious measurements to be performed in the millimeter-wave range using an R&S^®ZVA network analyzer in conjunction with a converter.
