Direct Connections to the Device
The USRP RIO device is a precision RF instrument that is sensitive to ESD and transients.
Ensure you take the following precautions when making direct connections to the USRP RIO
device to avoid damaging the device.
Notice Apply external signals only while the USRP RIO device is powered on.
Applying external signals while the device is powered off may cause damage.
• Ensure you are properly grounded when manipulating cables or antennas connected to the
USRP RIO device TX 1 RX 1, RX 1, or RX 2 connector.
• If you are using nonisolated devices, such as a nonisolated RF antenna, ensure the devices
are maintained in a static-free environment.
• If you are using an active device, such as a preamplifier or switch routed to the USRP
RIO device TX 1 RX 1, RX 1, or RX 2 connector, ensure that the device cannot generate
signal transients greater than the RF and DC specifications of the USRP RIO device TX 1
RX 1, RX 1, or RX 2 connector.
