Input Extensions (E7760A)

The Keysight E7760A Wideband Transceiver uses the same input extensions that are available for X-Series signal analyzers. In the case of the RF Radio Frequency: A generic term for radio-based technologies, operating between the Low Frequency range (30k Hz) and the Extra High Frequency range (300 GHz). Input/Output Port extension, the E7760A Wideband Transceiver supports more and different ports that other X-Series signal analyzers to support its connectivity with the M1650A mmWave Transceiver (RF Input/Output Port connections shown below).

Refer to the Keysight X-Series Signal Analyzer section for more information on other input extensions.

RF Input/Output Port

The E7760A has two types of ports. The six mmWave Ports (A1-A3 and B1-B3) are used in conjunction with the M1650A mmWave Transceiver, a test head which exchanges signals with a mmWave DUT Device under Test: An acronym used to describe some type of electrical apparatus connected to test instrumentation. The apparatus can range from a single component to a complex subsystem such as a mobile phone, base station or MSC. through an Over-The-Air interface. The front-panel mmWave Ports do not actually send or receive mmWave signals; the M1650A provides the necessary upconversion or downconversion to achieve the desired frequency range. The other two ports, IFIO1 and IFIO2, have a range of 2-18 GHz Gigahertz: A frequency measurement which equals one billion hertz..

The RF Input/Output values are as follows:

IFIO 1 - Dedicated RF IO port.
IFIO 2 - Dedicated RF IO port.
RFIO 3/RFIO HD/mmW A1 - Combination RF IO port and "A" bank port for connection with the M1650A mmWave Transceiver. It can be used to transmit or receive, but not both at the same time. See the E7760A User Guide for more information.
RFIO 4/mmW A2- Combination RF IO port and "A" bank port for connection with the M1650A mmWave Transceiver. It can be used to transmit or receive, but not both at the same time. See the E7760A User Guide for more information.
mmW A3 - Dedicated "A" bank port for connection with the M1650A mmWave Transceiver. It can be used to transmit or receive, but not both at the same time. See the E7760A User Guide for more information.
mmW B1 - Dedicated "B" bank port for connection with the M1650A mmWave Transceiver. It can be used to transmit or receive, but not both at the same time. See the E7760A User Guide for more information.
mmW B2 - Dedicated "B" bank port for connection with the M1650A mmWave Transceiver. It can be used to transmit or receive, but not both at the same time. See the E7760A User Guide for more information.
mmW B3 - Dedicated "B" bank port for connection with the M1650A mmWave Transceiver. It can be used to transmit or receive, but not both at the same time. See the E7760A User Guide for more information.
