Can someone tell me by schematic how can we use the PNA-X as spectrum analyzer.

I want to see the output spectrum of a mixer using two input sources (RF & LO) from

the PNA-X and the output will be displayed IN the same network analyzer ..

Hello nassim1:

Normally , this function is one options in the PNA-X.
You need to buy the below option.

Option 080 Frequency offset

Recommend:
Option 224, 2 ports, add internal 2nd source, combiner and mechanical switches
Option 423, 4 ports, add internal combiner and mechanical switches

Below is the AN about the R&S mixer measurement.

Many thanks for your replying me... thank you also for the document that you sent me it's so interesting...

Unfortunately, i do not have that network analyzer, i'm using Agilent PNA-X which has no same options...

Thank you again nuccu,

Nassim
