mm-Wave Band Signal Generation and Analysis

This application note describes how to generate and analyze wideband digitally modulated signals in the mm-wave range.

Rohde & Schwarz measuring equipment and some 3rd party off-the-shelf accessories are used for both signal generation and analysis. Measurement results are shown which demonstrate the typical performance for millimeter wave signals in terms of error vector magnitude (EVM) and adjacent channel power (ACLR).

Two test setups and their measurement results on a commercial V-band transceiver module are presented.
