7-7 mmWave Source
Modules
When the MG369XB is configured with Option 18, mmW Bias Output,
the synthesizer can power a mmWave source module to extend the RF
frequency output to 325 GHz.
Set up the mmWave source module and the MG369XB as shown in
Figure 7-7 below:
When using mmWave source modules, the MG369XB should be set to
a +10 dBm RF power level output. It is also recommended to configure
a frequency scaling factor as indicated below:
