Low-Band Receiver Mixer: Power Leakage LO In to RF In
Control state: 011000
SEE APPENDIX A: TEST BENCH SETUPS
Test setup Figure 23
The LO leakage at the RF port is measured at the low band mixer RF input port, J15. Power leakage is a measure of power in dBm that couples to the RF port. The measurement is performed using a RF source and a spectrum analyzer.
1)Set the LO source frequency and input power (see Table 8). Connect the LO source to the EVM LO input port, J12.
2)Set the spectrum analyzer to measure at the LO frequency (see Table 8).
3)Connect the RF Port, J15, to the spectrum analyzer.
4)Measure the LO leakage power.
Low-Band Receiver Mixer: Noise Figure
Control state: 011000
SEE APPENDIX A: TEST BENCH SETUPS
Test setup Figure 22:
The low band mixer Noise Figure (NF) is measured at the EVM Low Band IF output port, J11. The measurement is performed using an HP8970B Noise Figure Meter. The IF output of the mixer is converted from differential to single ended using a transformer balun. The noise figure meter requires a special setup and calibration since the RF source and receive frequencies are different.
Set up the noise figure meter as follows:
1)Special Function 1.4 sets the noise figure meter to measure variable IF and fixed LO frequencies.
2)The IF start, stop, and step size frequencies are set to 100MHz, 120MHz, and 5MHz respectively.
3)Set the smoothing to 16 or above.
4)Ensure that the Excess Noise Ratio (ENR) Table on the Noise Source head in use is entered on the NF meter.
