Troubleshooting R&S SMB
1407.0806.82 3.30 E-6
Troubleshooting B Reference Oscillator option R&S SMB-B1
If the frequency Error of the R&S SMB is > 3*10
-6
the Reference Oscillator is defective, change the
module.
Input and Output Signals
The Reference Oscillator has only one Futurbus connector (X1). The Reference Oscillator is plugged into
the RF Board (X221 see Fig. 3-8). All signals and the supply voltage are fed to the module through this
connector. Check the voltages for the OCXO being according to the following table. To test the serial bus
signals watch the signal lines while toggling between internal and external reference with an
Oscilloscope. Voltage Levels are 0 V and 3.3 V.
