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:
– SMA/SMB
Double-shielded SMA/SMB cables.
How to: Chapter 3.8, "Connecting to RF 50Ω", on page 23
– USB
Double-shielded USB cables.
How to: Chapter 3.13.4, "Connecting a controller via USB", on page 33.
– LAN
At least CAT6 STP cables.
How to: Chapter 3.7, "Connecting to LAN", on page 23
●
Always terminate open cable ends.
●
Ensure that connected external devices comply with EMC regulations.
Signal input and output levels
Information on signal levels is provided in the data sheet. Keep the signal levels within
the specified ranges to avoid damage to the R&S SGS and connected devices.
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.
3.6 Connecting to power
For safety information, see "Connecting to power" on page 12.
1. Plug the AC power cable into the AC power connector on the rear panel of the
instrument. Only use the AC power cable delivered with the R&S SGS.
2. Plug the AC power cable into a power outlet with ground contact.
The required ratings are listed next to the AC power connector and in the data
sheet.
