To unmount the R&S SMB100B from a rack
1. Loosen the screws at the rack brackets.
2. Bring the lifting equipment to shelf height.
3. Remove the R&S SMB100B from the rack.
4. If placing the R&S SMB100B on a bench top again, unmount the adapter kit from
the R&S SMB100B. Follow the instructions provided with the adapter kit.
3.1.5 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:
– BNC
Double-shielded BNC cables.
How to: "To connect to pluggable connectors" on page 29
– SMA
Double-shielded SMA cables.
How to: "To connect to screwable connectors" on page 29
– USB
Double-shielded USB cables.
How to: Chapter 3.1.8, "Connecting USB devices", on page 28.
– LAN
At least CAT6 STP cables.
How to: Chapter 3.1.7, "Connecting to LAN", on page 27
●
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 SMB100B 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.
