混频器噪声系数低IF频率测量

大家好,我有N8973 NFA,需要测量混音器(下变频器)的噪声系数。
RF为700至900 MHz。
IF为10 -100 MHz。
我需要测量上边带和下边带。
我也需要在温度范围内这样做。
我将使用ESG或MXG信号发生器作为LO源。
我需要将数据作为IF频率的函数呈现(四条曲线,RF = 700,900 MHz,LO swpet作为上部和下部)。
由于IF频率,滤波是绝对必须的。
我有以下想法:1)双边带测量固定LO。
无需RF滤波器。
在LO上使用带通滤波器。
如果需要,打破IF频段,可以使用低通滤波器来抑制LO信号。
问题是我需要的数据仅为700和900 MHz,但IF每10 MHz(或10点)步进一次。
因此,我需要40次校准和测量。
2)固定射频。
我可以在RF上设置带通滤波器(BW 5%或35到45 MHz),这样4 MHz是平坦的,信号在20 MHz偏移时下降20 dB(我意识到我将无法测量10 MHz)

我可以在IF上使用低通滤波器,在这种情况下我只需要四次校准和测量。
NFA仅具有固定的LO /扫频IF或扫频LO /固定IF模式。
不确定如何设置NFA。
(我确实打电话到呼叫中心,但我想我还是会问这里)。
任何评论(赞成,赞成)或新想法都会很棒。

  Hello All,

  I have a N8973 NFA and need to measure the noise figure on a mixer (downconverter).  The RF is 700 to 900 MHz.  The IF is 10 -100 MHz.  I need to measure both the upper and lower sideband.  I also need to do this over temperature. I will be using a ESG or MXG signal generator for the LO source.  I need the data to be presented as a function of IF frequencies (four curves,  RF = 700, 900 MHz,  LO swpet as both the upper and lower).

  Filtering is an absolute must due to the IF frequency.  I have the following ideas:

1)  Double Side band Measurement with a fixed LO.  No RF filter needed.  Use a band pass filter on the LO.   IF needed, break the IF band up so low pass filters  can be use to reject the LO signal.  Issue is I need data for only 700  and 900 MHz but with the IF stepped every 10 MHz (or 10 points).  Therefore I need 40 calibrations and measurements.

2)  Fixed RF.  I can set a bandpass filter on the RF (BW 5% or 35 to 45 MHz) so that a 4 MHz is flat and the signal is down 20 dB at 20 MHz offset (I realized I will not be able to measure 10 MHz).  I could use a low pass filter on the IF and under this condition I only need four calibrations and measurements.  The NFA only has a fixed LO/swept IF or swept LO/fixed IF mode.  Not sure how the NFA would be set up. (I do have a call into the Call Center but I figured I would ask here anyway).


Any comments (pro's, con's) or new ideas would be greatful.
