6.2.1 Receiving data input and providing data output
The R&S FSV/A can analyze signals from different input sources and provide various
types of output (such as noise or trigger signals).
6.2.1.1 Using probes
Probes allow you to perform voltage measurements very flexibly and precisely on all
sorts of devices to be tested, without interfering with the signal. The R&S
FSV/A base
unit and some (optional) applications support input from probes.
Active modular probes can be connected to the "RF Input" connector on the
R&S
FSV/A using an R&S RT-ZA9 adapter. Thus, you can perform frequency sweeps
on data from all active probes directly on the RF input up to the maximum frequency of
the probe and analyzer. The R&S
RT-ZA9 provides an interface between the probe's
BNC socket and the analyzer's N-socket. The USB connection provides the necessary
supply voltages for the probe. RF probes are supported by all R&S
FSV/A applications,
in particular the Spectrum application.
Active probes
When using active probes from the R&S RT family, consider the following:
●
Active probes require operating power from the instrument and have a proprietary
interface to the instrument.
●
The probe is automatically recognized by the instrument, no adjustment is
required.
●
Connections should be as short as possible to keep the usable bandwidth high.
●
Observe the operating voltage range.
