SYSTEM FOR CHARACTERIZING MIXER OR CONVERTER RESPONSE
First Claim
1. A method of calibrating a network analysis system comprising a device measurement path located between a first receiver and a second receiver, the method comprising:
- determining a phase response of the first receiver independent of the second receiver;
determining a phase response of the second receiver; and
determining a phase tracking response from the phase response of the first receiver and the phase response of the second receiver to establish a calibration of the device measurement path.

Abstract
A network analyzer comprises: a signal source configured to supply an input signal to a device, wherein the device is configured to generate a phase reference signal; a receiver configured to receive the phase reference signal from the device and to measure a phase response of the device according to the phase reference signal; and a calibration component configured to compare the measured phase response of the device with an actual phase response of the device to identify a tracking parameter for the receiver.
