a) Select "Level > RF ON > On"
b) Press the [RF on/off] key at the front panel.
3. In the block diagram, observe the color of the "RF On" icon.
The blue color indicates that the RF output is activated.

7.4 How to set the frequency and level
The simplest form of the RF signal is a continuous wave (CW) of constant frequency
and amplitude. The RF signal is defined by its frequency, level and phase.
► Use one of the following:
● "Status Bar > Frequency and Level"
● "Status Bar" > underlined label
or
● "RF > RF Frequency > Frequency > Frequency"
● "RF > RF Level > Level > Level"
● "RF > RF Frequency > Phase"
● "Block diagram" > underlined label >" RF Frequency > Frequency > Fre-
quency", etc.
● On the front panel, press the [Freq] or the [Level] key.
Current frequency and level values are indicated on the "Status bar" so that you can
see them at a glance. Values displayed in the status bar and in the "Frequency/Level"
dialogs can deviate form each other.
See "RF frequency and level display with a downstream instrument" on page 296.
RF frequency and level display with a downstream instrument
If your test setup includes a downstream instrument, you can enter the parameter of
the downstream instrument in the frequency or level settings dialog of the
R&S
SMM100A. Examples of downstream instruments are mixers, frequency multipli-
