Connecting the SPECTRAN® V6 with antennas or RF devices

The SPECTRAN

®

 V6 provides the following connectors for antennas and/or other RF devices:

Two SMA inputs labeled Rx1 and Rx2 to 

connect antennas, generators or other 

measurement equipment supporting signal 

strengths of up to +25 dBm (Rx2 only 

supported on RSA 2000X).

One SMA output labeled Tx to connect 

receiving equipment providing signal 

strengths of up to +20 dBm (not suppor-

ted on RSA 250X).

RX

TX

REF

One SMB input labeled REF to connect an 

external 10 MHz clock signal.

One SMB in/output labeled TRG for 

synchronizing device.

One SMB in/output labeled PPM.

One SMB input labeled GPS to connect an 

antenna to the integrated GPS receiver 

(requires software license).

TRG

PPM

GPS

Antenna

(not included)

„Rx1“ connector

SMA cable

(not included)

„POWR“ connector

„DATA“ connector

In most scenarios, you will only connect the Rx1 input to an antenna (or other device), so your setup will look similar to this:
