Figure 5. Example hardware configuration for wide bandwidth millimeter-wave signal generation and analysis.
Out-of-channel and out-of-band performance can be evaluated using traditional swept-
tuned analysis. The measurement in Figure 4 was made using the Keysight M1971E
Smart Mixer, converting a 60 GHz signal to IF measurable by an X-series signal analyzer.
A simple block diagram of an 802.11ad test configuration for wide bandwidth millime-
ter-wave signal generation and analysis is shown in Figure 5. The hardware configuration
can be altered to address requirements at baseband, IF, or millimeter-wave. Figure
5 includes the AWG and PSG setup previously described with either the Keysight or
Virginia Diodes upconverter used to upconvert the signal to the 60 GHz band. The MXG
provides the LO for the millimeter-wave upconverter. Optional millimeter-wave amplifiers
and filters are available depending on the application and performance requirements.
The M1971E wideband smart mixer is used for signal analysis from 55 to 90 GHz,
when combined with an X-Series signal analyzer and oscilloscope. The smart mixer is
connected to the output of the upconverter and the IF output is fed to the signal analyzer
for swept-tuned measurements. The auxiliary IF output is fed into an oscilloscope for
demodulation with the 81199A software.
