RF input
The RF input with an impedance of 50
Ω
allows you to connect a DUT to the
R&S
FPC. Typically, you connect the DUT with a cable and an appropriate connector
(for example a male N connector).
The frequency range of the RF input is specified in the datasheet.
The attenuation range is between 0
dB and 40
dB.
Risk of instrument damage
Make sure not to overload the RF input and keep within the maximum allowed signal
levels. Refer to the datasheet for the maximum allowed signal levels.
A DC input voltage of 50
V must never be exceeded.
Signal source output
Available on the R&S
FPC1500.
The "Signal Source" output allows you to generate a signal that can be fed into the
DUT or other external accessories like frequency dividers or amplifiers. You can con-
nect the DUT or accessories with a cable that has a male N connector.
Risk of instrument damage
The maximum supported reverse power is 23
dBm. Make sure that this value is not
exceeded to avoid damage to the R&S
FPC.
Headphone jack
The female headphone jack allows you to connect headphones (or external speakers)
with a miniature jack plug.
You can control the output voltage with the volume control integrated into the firmware.
Refer to the user manual for details.
If you connect headphones or external speakers, the R&S
FPC automatically turns off
the internal speaker.
Risk of hearing damage
Before putting on the headphones, make sure that the volume setting is not too high to
protect your hearing.
