Input/Output 9
Agilent N8201A Performance Downconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 26.5 GHz 187
Example:
MIX:BAND W
If Harmonic is set to Man, a query will return “USER”. K, E, W, F, D, G, Y, and J are not
available if the mixer type is set to Presel.
18-26.5 GHz (K)
Selects K band (mixing harmonic –6). Displays the start and stop frequencies for that
particular band. Other start/stop frequencies are available as long as they are within the –6
harmonic band.
Key Path: Input/Output, Input Mixer, Ext Mix Band
Remote Command:
Example: MIX:BAND K
26.5-40 GHz (A)
Selects A band (mixing harmonic –8). Displays the start and stop frequencies for that
particular band. Other start/stop frequencies are available as long as they are within the –8
harmonic band.
Bands A, Q, U, and V are available with both preselected and unpreselected mixers. The
sign of the harmonic value changes with the mixer type. For example with A Band
preselected mixer, the harmonic value is 8 while the unpreselected value is -8.
Key Path: Input/Output, Input Mixer, Ext Mix Band
Remote Command:
Example: MIX:BAND A
33-50 GHz (Q)
Selects Q band (mixing harmonic –10). Displays the start and stop frequencies for that
particular band. Other start/stop frequencies are available as long as they are within the
–10 harmonic band.
