Feature to measure 3 frequencies in a mixer. #feature_request


 

Feature to measure 3 frequencies in a mixer. I was using a SI5351 and an ADE mixer, I was doing a test generating 200MHz + 220MHz and getting 20MHz. Everything works very well. So think, there may be an interesting feature in a spectrum analyzer. A way to present as 3 frequencies totally out of the standard. Ex: you enter MEASURE and would have the option MIXER, Clicking on MIXER, you should choose 3 frequencies and the analyzer, if possible, would show the 3 frequencies, in the order we entered, and would already add 3 normal markers in each frequency. (20MHz, 200MHz, 220MHz) Of course we can let the analyzer sweep from 1MHz to 250MHz for example, but the idea would be to have the 3 frequencies in a very short SPAN.
This makes it easier to balance the mixture. Is this possible or is it a useless resource?


 

That would imply splitting the range in 3 (or maybe 4) subranges and showing these subranges with the info on the screen.
This would be a major extension of the graphing capabilities and not something I expect to happen.
However, even when using 10MHz, 200MHz and 220MHz all three signals are well visible and you can have a marker on all three and when enabling FAST scanning the total scan time is 240ms so fast enough to tune the mixer

Hi, Erik,
The proposed feature might be actual for the #ultra, a kind of composite spectrum, with 2...3 discrete frequency spans (bands) displayed simultaneously on the screen.

Kind regards,
Alex
