The Agilent/Keysight 70427A Microwave Downconverter Module translates microwave signals to RF frequencies for integration with phase noise measurement systems. This downconverter module serves as a key component in the 3048A phase noise measurement system, enabling precise characterization of microwave signal quality.
Technical Specifications
• Converts microwave signals to RF frequencies for measurement and analysis
• DC-coupled tuning port with adjustable sensitivity for phase locking to external microwave sources
• Specified spurious performance for controlled signal conversion
• Optimized noise floor performance for accurate phase noise measurements
• Dimensions: 22 × 15 × 12 inches
• Weight: 23 lbs
– Key Features
• Variable-sensitivity tuning port enables phase locking to microwave sources
• DC coupling on tuning port allows low-frequency control signals
• Designed specifically for high-fidelity microwave signal downconversion
• Spurious performance specified for predictable conversion characteristics
– Typical Applications
• Microwave phase noise measurement and characterization
• Signal frequency translation in automated test systems
• Phase locking applications requiring external microwave source reference
• Integration with laboratory phase noise analysis platforms
– Compatibility & Integration
The 70427A interfaces directly with the Agilent/Keysight 3048A Phase Noise Measurement System. It functions as a component within the 71707A system configuration, which includes the 70004A color display/mainframe for integrated measurement and control. A User’s Guide is available for the 70427A/70428A downconverter and microwave source module pair, providing operational and integration guidance.
