Introduction: 10x Faster, 30x Cleaner, and Phase Noise Too?

Register

Keysight's new DDS source, available since September 2020, accelerates phase and group delay measurements by 10 times while reducing trace noise by 30 times.

This first webinar in a series on mixer and converter tests introduces recent enhancements that significantly enhance the PNA and PNA-X's ability to characterize frequency converters and mixers.

Subsequent to this introductory webinar, short detailed demo webinars will follow, covering individual key measurements and the setup required to optimize mixer measurements on the PNA-X.

Presenter

  • Dr. Joel Dunsmore
    R&D Fellow
    Since graduating from Oregon State University with an MSEE (1983), Joel Dunsmore has worked for Keysight Technologies (formerly Agilent and Hewlett-Packard) at the Santa Rosa Site. He received his Ph.D. from Leeds University in 2004. He is a Keysight R&D Fellow focused on component test. He was a principal contributor to the HP 8753 and PNA family of network analyzers, with recent work in non-linear test, including differential devices, and mixer measurements, as well as modulated and spectrum measurements. He was principally responsible for many of fundamental algorithm designs in the PNA applications including the frequency converter, spectrum-analyzer, gain compression, IQ, and Hot S-parameter measurements. He has received 33 patents related to this work, and authored the “Handbook of Microwave Component Measurements, 2nd Edition (John Wiley, 2020)”. He is a senior member in the IEEE and MTT, as well as an executive committee member of the Automated RF Techniques Group (ARFTG).
