 Follow the below steps to configure the Multiplier block for an LO signal of 4.75GHz (mixer LO signal of 19GHz): Follow the below steps to configure the Multiplier block for an LO signal of 4.75GHz (mixer LO signal of 19GHz):
-  - Choose bias points from the dropdowns for the LO input buffer stages and click on the amplifier itself to enable the buffer. The buffer will change from grey to blue. +  - If the recommended bias conditions aren't sufficient, choose bias points from the dropdowns for the LO input buffer stages. Click on the amplifier itself to enable the buffer. The buffer will change from grey to blue. 
-  - Choose a bias point from the dropdown for the Mid-Band multiplier/amplifier and check the “Active” box next to the multiplier/amplifier. This will enable the circuit and change the input/output switches to the middle setting. The “Ready” checkbox should automatically be checked as well. The Mid-Band amplifier will change from grey to blue.+  - If the recommended bias condition isn't sufficient, choose a bias point from the dropdown for the Mid-Band multiplier/amplifier.

 ===== Receiver Block Setup ===== ===== Receiver Block Setup =====
-The Receiver block is designed to take a received signal from the 4 external antennae as well as an LO signal from teh Multiplier block, amplify and convert the received signal to an IF using all four LNA/Mixer channels, and scale the output signal using four independently controlled IF amplifiers. To accomplish this, the Receiver block contains four Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), four active mixers, two stages of active LO splitters and four Variable Gain Amplifiers (VGAs). It should be noted that all four channels are intended to be operated together, but any combination of channels can be enabled at once.+The Receiver block is designed to take a received signal from the 4 external antennae as well as an LO signal from the Multiplier block, amplify and convert the received signal to an IF using all four LNA/Mixer channels, and scale the output signal using four independently controlled IF amplifiers.
