Vector Mixer Measurements

Engineers often need to evaluate mixer performance, including conversion loss, phase and group delay, the 1 dB compensation point, isolation between ports and port #VSWR. Phase and group delay can be measured with a #VNA equipped with Vector Mixer Measurement function. While the others can be achieved with Scalar Mixer Measurement function. In this application note, #Siglent staff give a brief introduction about scalar measurements. https://www.saelig.com/news/articles/mixer-measurements-with-vna-saelig.pdf

Measure with ~0.025°C resolution over a –250 to +1370 °C range.

 #PicoTechnology TC-08 Thermocouple Data Logger is designed to measure a wide range of temperatures using any thermocouple with a miniature TC connector. All popular thermocouples are supported for a temperature range of –270 to +1820 °C depending on the thermocouple. Make and log your temperature measurements can be made both fast and accurately at up to 10 msmts/sec. The 20-bit resolution ensures that the TC-08 can detect small changes. E.g. with Type K thermocouples ~0.025°C resolution over a –250 to +1370 °C range.
