NOTE. Make sure that any adaptor and cable y ou use is specified to operate at the frequency range of the test you
are performing. Connector frequency ranges:
BNC: D C to 1 GHz typical, up to 3 GHz for certain BNC cable/connectors.
N:DCto18GHztypical
SMA: DC to 18 GHz typical, up to 26.5 GHz for certain SMA cable/connectors.
Preliminary checks
Do these steps before starting the performance verification procedures.
Warm up the instrument
1. Connect the RSA306B USB c able to the host PC. The LED on the RSA306B should initially glow red then turn green
after a few moments.
2. Make sure the SignalVu-PC application is connected to the RSA306B over USB.
