Figure 6-1: Block diagram: Generating an unmodulated signal

The 1.955

GHz signal is output at the "RF 50

" connector at the front panel

of the R&S

SMCV100B.

Connect "RF 50

" of the R&S

SMCV100B to a signal analyzer, for example

R&S

FSW, to display the generated signal.

Figure 6-2: Simplified test setup

For the required settings of the signal analyzer, refer to its user manual or its
online help.
