DISCONTINUED: Generation of Vector Signals at Microwave Frequencies

Vector signals at microwave frequencies can easily be generated by the direct upconversion of I/Q baseband signals. A versatile and cost-efficient solution consists of an R&S^®SMF100A microwave signal generator combined with a baseband source (e.g. the R&S^®AFQ100A) and an external I/Q mixer. This application note describes how to perform the frequency upconversion.
