3.5 Considerations for test setup
Cable selection and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can affect the measurement results.
To suppress electromagnetic radiation during operation:
●
Use high-quality shielded cables, especially for the following connector types:
– Connectors for external devices
Double-shielded data cables. The length of data cables must not exceed
3 m.
– Connectors for signal transmission
Shielded coaxial cables. The length of signal cables must not exceed 1 m.
We recommend that you use the R&S LCX-Z11 BNC-to-BNC extension
(1 m) from Rohde & Schwarz.
