3.2.1.10 Sensor
Connector for R&S NRP sensors.
A power sensor is connected to the R&S SMA100B by inserting the male connector. 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 R&S SMA100B supports the use of R&S NRP power sensors in various ways
including the use as a power viewer.
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 con-
necting 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.
Further information on connecting and using power sensors, see Chapter 8.4.1, "Con-
necting R&S NRP power sensors to the R&S SMA100B", on page 233, Chapter 8.4.4,
"NRP-Z power analysis", on page 245, Chapter 8.4.2, "NRP sensor mapping",
on page 234, Chapter 8.4.4, "NRP-Z power analysis", on page 245 and Chapter 8.3,
"User correction", on page 221.
