[SENSe<Ch>:]FREQuency:MDELay...    Related Topics

This subsystem controls the analyzer's mixer delay measurement mode. This mode requires options R&S ZVA-K9 and R&S ZVA-K4. Option R&S ZVA-K4 also provides Harmonic Distortion measurements, mixer measurements, arbitrary configuration of generator and receiver frequencies (Port Configuration), and intermodulation measurements.

[SENSe<Ch>:]FREQuency:MDELay:ACQuire

Starts a calibration sweep for the mixer delay measurement. As a prerequisite, the calibrated channel must have at least one mixer delay trace.  

<Ch>

Channel number. If unspecified the numeric suffix is set to 1.

 

SCPI, Command Types

Device-specific, no query.

 

Example:

See MMEMory:LOAD:MDCData

 

 


[SENSe<Ch>:]FREQuency:MDELay:APERture  <Aperture>

Defines the frequency difference between the upper and lower tone (aperture).

<Ch>

Channel number. If unspecified the numeric suffix is set to 1.

 

<Aperture>

Aperture

Range [def. unit]

0 Hz to 15 MHz [Hz]

*RST value

0 Hz

SCPI, Command Types

Device-specific, command or query.

 

Example:

*RST; SENS1:FREQ:STAR 1 GHz; STOP 2 GHz

Select a stimulus range between 1 GHz and 2 GHz.

FREQ:MDEL:APER 1 MHz

Select a 1 MHz aperture.  

FREQ:MDEL:UTON PORT, 3

Select NWA port 3 as a source port for the upper tone (no external generator).

FREQ:MDEL:COMB ON

Use the internal combiner to generate the two-tone signal at port 1 (for instruments equipped with the necessary options).

...

(Perform mixer delay measurement, evaluate results.)  

FREQ:MDELay:CONV OFF

Disable mixer delay measurement, switch back to normal (non frequency-converting) mode.  

  

 


[SENSe<Ch>:]FREQuency:MDELay:CDELay  <Delay>

Enables constant mixer delay and defines a constant mixer delay value, to be used as a reference for a mixer delay measurement calibration.  

<Ch>

Channel number. If unspecified the numeric suffix is set to 1.

 

<Delay>

Constant delay

Range [def. unit]

0 s to 0.001 s [s]

*RST value

0 s

Device-specific, command or query.

 

Example:

*RST; :FREQ:MDEL:CDEL 1 ns

Enable constant mixer delay and define a constant mixer delay value of 1 ns.

FREQ:MDEL:CDM?

Query whether the constant delay mode is active. The response is 1.  

  

 


[SENSe<Ch>:]FREQuency:MDELay:CDMode  <Boolean>

Selects constant or variable delay for the mixer delay calibration.  

<Ch>

Channel number.  

 

<Boolean>

ON – Constant delay
OFF – Variable delay

[SENSe<Ch>:]FREQuency:MDELay:COMBiner[:STATe]  <Boolean>

Enables or disables the internal combiner (for R&S ZVT analyzers with option R&S ZVT20-B11 or R&S ZVA analyzers with an Extension Unit R&S ZVAXxx and option R&S ZVAXxx-B11). The internal combiner requires the following port configuration: Lower Tone: Port 1, Upper Tone: Port 3. The two-tone signal is available at port 1.  

<Ch>

Channel number.  

 

<Boolean>

ON | OFF – enables or disables the measurement using the internal combiner
