The R&S SMA100B supports the use of R&S NRP power sensors in various
ways including the use as a power viewer.
A power sensor is connected to the R&S SMA100B by inserting the male connec-
tor. To disconnect, pull the connector by its sleeve. You cannot disconnect the
sensor simply by pulling at the cable or the rear part of the connector.
The female connector allows the mechanical connection of 6-pole and 8-
pole male connectors.
It mates with the interface cables R&S NRP-ZK8 and R&S NRP-ZK6, used
for connecting R&S NRPxx power sensors, and also with the six-pole push-
pull plugs of the R&S NRP-Zxx series.
However, the signal pair of the common time base clock assigned to the
two pins in the center of the male connectors is not available. These pins
are used by Rohde & Schwarz power meters to synchronize several power
sensors.

Output of the RF signal.
Maximum input levels
Do not overload the RF output.
The instrument is equipped with a reverse power protection that prevents
the RF output against back feed, see section "Reverse Power Protection" in
the operating manual. However, the maximum permissible reverse power is
specified in the data sheet.
The connector type depends on the installed frequency option.
