Perform the following settings at the R&S SMB:
• Preset
• RF on
• Unlock Protection Level 2: 147946
•
SETUP - Test Point Select Test Point DIAG_SMB_RF_LCON
• SETUP - Test Point State on
Preset the R&S SMB and control the following signals with an Oscilloscope.
Oscilloscope settings:
• Voltage: 1V / Div
• Timespan: 1 µs/ Div
• Trigger: Normal
Measure these signals

If one of these Signals is not as described change the connector cable and test again. If the signals still
not match their description change the defective board according to the table.
