4.9 Connecting to RF coaxial connectors
Here, you find information on how to prepare and to connect to RF coaxial con-
nectors of the R&S SMA100B. Use these RF connectors, for example, for output
of the RF signal or for input of an external reference signal.
To prepare for connecting
1. NOTICE! Damaged or not clean connections can lead to RF insertion loss
and mismatch, and even premature wear of the connectors.
Before connecting to the port, inspect the RF connector visually. Check that it
is clean, undamaged and mechanically compatible.
2. NOTICE! DC voltage at the RF connector can damage the instrument. Never
apply DC voltage to the RF input connectors.
Make sure that the values are within the DC limits given in the data sheet.
3. If your test setup has a DC component at the RF input, insert a DC blocker.
4. Use a high-quality RF cable that matches the RF connector type.
See "Cable selection and electromagnetic interference (EMI)" on page 21.
5. You can connect to two kinds of connectors:
● "To connect to screwable connectors" on page 25
● "To connect to pluggable connectors" on page 25
