General Descriptions of Agilent 71000 Series Spectrum Analyzer External-Mixing Functions
ext mixer Allows access to the following softkey functions that control the measurement range
when an external mixer extends the spectrum analyzer frequency range. The
ext
mixer
softkey can be found under the State key.
fulband KAQUVE

SIGNAL IDENT
fulband KAQUVE
and
fulband WFDGYJ Specify the frequency range for measurements made with external mixers. Twelve
frequency bands are available. Table 2-2 lists the start and stop frequencies of each
band and also shows which local-oscillator harmonic (N) is used for the mixing
process. Once a band is selected, the frequency range is locked and the spectrum
analyzer tunes with the local-oscillator harmonic for that band only.
