To connect power sensors
You can connect power sensors of the R&S NRP families to any of the USB connec-
tors.
See Chapter 8.9.4, "Using Power Sensors", on page 581.
3.1.9 Connecting to RF A/RF B
The connector is located on the front panel.
If you have the instrument equipped with an option for rear panel connectors, the RF
output connector is on the rear panel.
To prepare for connecting to RF A/RF B
1.
NOTICE! Damaged or not clean connections can lead to RF insertion loss and mis-
match, and even premature wear of the connectors.
Before connecting to the port, inspect the RF connector visually to check that it is
clean, undamaged and mechanically compatible.
See the application note 1MA99 for information on how to handle and maintain the
RF port, to minimize measurement deviations and ensure its longevity.
2.
NOTICE! Risk of instrument damage. Excessive reverse power or DC voltage at
the RF A/RF B connector can damage the instrument.
Make sure that the values do not exceed the reverse power and DC limits as given
in the data sheet.
3. If the R&S SMW is switched on, deactivate the RF output, before connecting an RF
cable to the RF A/RF B connector.
In the block diagram, select the block "RF" > "RF Level" > "RF ON > Off".
4. Use a high-quality RF cable that matches the RF connector type.
See "Cable selection and electromagnetic interference (EMI)" on page 30.
5. You can connect to two kinds of connectors:
● "To connect to non-screwable connectors (BNC)" on page 33
● "To connect to screwable connectors" on page 33
To connect to non-screwable connectors (BNC)
► To connect the RF cable with the RF A/RF B connector, proceed as follows:
a) Carefully align the connector of the cable and the RF A/RF B connector along a
common axis.
b) Mate the connectors along the common axis until the male pin of the connector
of the cable engages with the female socket of the RF A/RF B connector.
To connect to screwable connectors
1. Use a high-quality cable that matches the connector type.
See "Cable selection and electromagnetic interference (EMI)" on page 30.
