5.4 RF Signal and Analog Modulations - RF Block
5.4.1 Overview of RF Signal
Settings for the RF output signal and analog modulation are made under "RF Signal" and
"Analog Modulations". These settings can be accessed in the block diagram by way of
the "RF/A MOD" function block, or by means of the menu with the same name which is
opened using the MENU key.
The function block is available for the basic unit (R&S SMBV + frequency option R&S
SMBV-B10x) without additional equipment options.
5.4.1.1 RF Output
To activate and deactivate the RF output signal, use one of the following alternatives:
●
by means of the RF ON/OFF key (the current entry focus is irrelevant)
● by changing the state of the "RF/A Mod" functional block (see "State
RF" on page 154)
● by enabling/disabling the RF in the "Configure" menu of the "RF/A Mod" block (see
"RF Output State" on page 155).
The current state of the RF output (activated and deactivated) is indicated in the block
diagram by means of the different block color and the status of the "On" checkbox.
The disconnected connection to the output is additionally shown when the output is
deactivated.
Active analog modulation is also indicated in the block.
To query the impedance of the RF outputs, use the command :OUTPut<hw>:
IMPedance on page 484.
State RF
Activated/deactivates the RF output by changing the state of the "RF" functional block.
