An apparatus for generating an output signal having a higher frequency than a first signal received from a first external connector of a test equipment associated to a first channel and a second signal received on a second external connector of the test equipment associated to a second channel, having a first connector adapted to be connected to said first external connector, and adapted to receive the first signal, a second connector adapted to be connected to said second external connector, and adapted to receive the second signal, wherein the first and second signals are out of phase, an output to be connected to the device under test, and a passive circuit for combining the signals received at said first and second connector into the output signal and for providing said output signal to said output.
Apparatus for generating an output signal having a higher frequency than a first signal received from a first external connector of a test equipment associated to a first channel and a second signal received on a second external connector of the test equipment associated to a second channel, comprising:
Method for generating an output signal having a higher frequency than a first signal received from a test equipment associated to a first channel and a second signal received from the test equipment associated to a second channel, comprising the steps of:
Usage of a passive circuit comprising a first input, a second input and an output, said output providing an output signal being a combination of input signals applied to the first and second input and having a higher frequency than the input signals for increasing the frequency of signals provided on a first and a second channel of a test equipment by connecting the first input to the first channel and the second input to the second channel.
