Description
The Option H30 adds a mixer and coax switch to enable the E8247C or the E8257C/D to
upconvert a RF signal (input is provided on the rear panel) to a higher frequency which
will be the sum and difference of the RF input signal and frequency set on the E8247C or
E8257C/D.
The coaxial switch allows the E8247C or E8257C/D with Option H30 to be switched from
standard synthesizer mode to upconverter mode. This allows the E8247C to be used as a
standard source instrument, as well as an upconverter. The synthesizer and upconverter
modes can be selected on the front panel or by remote command. The upconverted output
signal is the same as the front panel RF output. The input connector is a SMA type female
that is located on the rear panel.
The Option H30 can be ordered with Option 520 or Option 540. For instruments that
include Option 520, signals can be upconverted from 200 kHz to 26 GHz. For instruments
that include Option 540, signals can be upconverted from 6 GHz to 46 GHz.
