3. In the block diagram, observe the color of the "RF On" icon.
The blue color indicates that the RF output is activated.

RF State/RF ON
Activates or deactivates the RF output.
Acts as the [RF on/off] key.

RF output impedance
You can query the impedance of the RF output.
Remote command:

6.4 How to Set the Frequency and Level
The simplest form of the RF signal is a continuous wave (CW) of constant frequency
and amplitude. The RF signal is defined by its frequency, level and phase.
► Use one of the following:
● "Status Bar > Frequency and Level"
●
"Status Bar" > underlined label or
● "RF > RF Frequency > Frequency > Frequency"
● "RF > RF Level > Level > Level"
● "RF > RF Frequency > Phase"
●
"Block diagram" > underlined label >"RF Frequency > Frequency > Fre-
quency", etc.
● On the front panel, press the [Freq] or the [Level] key.
Current frequency and level values are indicated on the "Status bar" so that you can
see them at a glance. Values displayed in the status bar and in the "Frequency/Level"
dialogs can deviate form each other.
See "RF frequency and level display with a downstream instrument" on page 288.
RF frequency and level display with a downstream instrument
If your test setup includes a downstream instrument, you can enter the parameter of
the downstream instrument in the frequency or level settings dialog of the
R&S SMBV100B. Examples of downstream instruments are mixers, frequency multipli-
ers, amplifiers or attenuators and of their corresponding major parameters offset, multi-
plier, amplitude. The R&S SMBV100B generates the signal without the downstream
