I want to use N5182B vector signal generator with U3035P power distributor network. Will U3035P works with N5182B. If, yes what is the updated model number or option as in E8726D option HCC and H1G is required as mentioned in overview and features of U3035P.
Hi Hassan,
I asked around about your request and here is what I found out.
The U3035P design has been optimized for the PSG architecture, and is not recommended for use with the MXG. The frequency plans for the PSG and MXG are simply too different.
However, the N5182B MXG signal generator has an LO In/Out option called option 012, which provides much the same capability as PSG options HCC/H1G. N5182B-012 is described in the MXG User’s Guide starting on page 235. Dual MXG’s can be used with just a splitter to share the LO of one of the signal generators, as shown in figure 9-30 on page 237. Splitting the LO four ways causes too much loss to drive the LO input of the four MXG’s. Also, there is no amplitude adjustment to the LO output of the master MXG. Recommended solutions include
Hope this helps
Pete
