Front Panel Connectors

The RF and LF output connectors and a connector for external modulation signals are located on the front panel.

MOD EXT

Input for external modulation signals.

LF

Output for internal LF modulation generator signal.

See also data sheet and "Overview of LF Generator", "LF Output".

RF 50 Ohm

Output for RF signal.

NOTICE! Maximum Input Levels. Do not overload the RF output.
The instrument is equipped with a reverse power protection that prevents the RF output against back feed, see "Reverse Power Protection". Nevertheless, the maximum permisssible reverse power is specified in the data sheet.

The RF signal is output via an N female connector.

NOTICE! Risk of RF connector and cable damage. Excessive tightening of the connectors can damage the cables and connectors. Too weak tightening leads to inaccurate results.
Always use an appropriate torque wrench suitable for this type of connector and apply the torque specified in the application note 1MA99.
The application notes are available on the Internet and provide additional information on care and handling of RF connectors.
Rohde & Schwarz offers appropriate torque wrenches for various connectors. For ordering information see the R&S SMC data sheet or product brochure.
