8.2.1 Receiving Data Input and Providing Data Output
The R&S FSW can analyze signals from different input sources and provide various
types of output (such as noise or trigger signals).
8.2.1.1 Using Probes
Probes allow you to perform voltage measurements very flexibly and precisely on all
sorts of devices to be tested, without interfering with the signal. The R&S FSW base
unit and some (optional) applications support input from probes.
Probe connectors
Probes can be connected to the following connectors on the R&S FSW:
●
BASEBAND INPUT connectors, if the Analog Baseband Interface (option
R&S FSW-B71) is installed;
Allows you to perform I/Q analysis or frequency sweeps on data from all active
probes up to a frequency of 5 GHz. The power supply for the probe is integrated in
the connector.
Supported only by applications that can process I/Q data.
●
"RF Input" connector using an R&S RT-ZA9 adapter;
Allows you to perform I/Q analysis or frequency sweeps on data from active modu-
lar probes directly on the RF input up to the maximum frequency of the probe and
analyzer. Does not require the optional Analog Baseband Interface (R&S FSW-
B71).
Supported by all R&S FSW applications, in particular the Spectrum application.
The R&S RT-ZA9 provides an interface between the probe's BNC socket and the
analyzer's N-socket. The USB connection provides the necessary supply voltages
for the probe.
