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
