0.5 V/GHz
OUT This
rear panel
BNC
connector
can
be
used
as
one
of
the
inputs to
a recorder
.It
produces
a
DC
voltage
output
that
varies linearly
with the
frequency currently
at the
RF
OUTPUT connector
.F
or example
,if
the
current
frequency
setting is
5.5 GHz,
the
voltage
at
this
connector
would
be
2.75 V
. The
nominal
source
impedance
is

250.
10 MHz
IN This
rear
panel
BNC
connector
accepts
a
10
MHz,
0
to
+10
dBm reference
signal
for
operation
referenced
to
an
external
time
base
.
The
nominal
input
impedance
of
this
input
is
50.
This
connector
detects
when a
valid reference
signal is
connected
to
it
and
automatically switches
from internal
to
external
reference
operation.
10
MHz
OUT
This
rear
panel
BNC connector
provides a
3
dBm
6
3
dB
,
10
MHz signal
derived
from
the
internal
frequency
standard
of
the synthesizer
.
The
nominal
source
impedance
is
50.
ALC IN
This
front
panel
BNC
connector
allows
the
synthesizer
to
be
externally
leveled. It
is
used
with
external
power
meter
leveling
or
external diode
leveling.
The
leveling
signal
at
this
input
must
be
in
the
6
1V
range
.
The
nominal
input
impedance
is
150
k.
The
damage
level
is

+12
V
or
0
12
V
.
RF
OUTPUT
The
standard
front
panel
RF
OUTPUT
connector
is
a
Type-N
precision
connector
.
When
Option
1E9
is
installed,
this
front
panel
connector
is
a
3.5
mm
precision
connector
.
The
nominal
source
impedance
is
50.
When
making
connections
to
this
connector
,
carefully
align
the
center
conductor
elements
,
then
rotate
the
knurled
barrel
while
mating
components
remain
still.
Tighten
the
barrel until rm contact is made
.
Take care when working with this connector
.Ifthe
connector is mechanically degraded in any way
,high
frequency losses can occur
. Refer to application note 326,
