16 Pulse source and TDR/TDT analysis
(options R&S RTO6-B7/K130)
16.1 Pulse source (option R&S RTO6-B7)
The pulse source option R&S RTO6-B7 provides a symmetrical differential pulse signal
with steep rise time and configurable parameters. The hardware module of the option
features four 2.92 mm connectors (K type), two for signal output (Out,
), and two for
reference signal output (Ref, ).
Typical applications of the pulse source are:
●
Stimulus for devices under test, for example, as a precise clock
●
Accurate source for deskewing cables and probes for dif
ferential measurements
●
Analysis of time-transmission characteristics of a differential signal path
●
TDR/TDT analysis with option R&S RTO6-K130
The module is installed at the rear panel of the instrument. To ensure correct installa-
tion and calibration, send the instrument to a Rohde & Schwarz service center.
Preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a DUT.
►
NOTICE! Electrostatic discharge can damage the electronic components of the
product and the device under test (DUT).
Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge damage:
a) Use a wrist strap and cord to connect yourself to ground.
b) Use a conductive floor mat and heel strap combination.
Usage of cables
Beside the pulse source module, the option includes several accessories: SMA cables,
50 Ω terminations, adapters, and more. The accessory case provides also space for
optional accessories. All included accessories are listed in the data sheet.
