Note that always one out of the six terminals of the relays is allowed to be activated at
the same time. When operating the R&S OSP-B102 inside the R&S OSP, the
R&S OSP firmware takes care for correctly switching the SP6T relay.
Figure 5-14: Module R&S OSP-B102
The relays are mounted directly in the R&S OSP-B102 front panel. All the RF
connectors are SMA female types. All relays are soldered into a printed circuit board;
this way the module is of compact size and no cabling to the relays is required.
The R&S OSP-B102 module is supplied with power and controlled from the R&S OSP
via a single connector on the R&S OSP-B102 printed circuit board. The connection to
the R&S OSP is done via a single connection cable.
The R&S OSP-B102 module is equipped with an on-board memory to store the
necessary configuration data of the module.

When the module R&S OSP-B102 is configured within the R&S OSP, a manual
operation of the module can be performed via the OSP Panel. See
chapter 3.3.7
for
details.
For remote control operation see
chapters 6
and
Depending on the required switching application, several modules of the R&S OSP-
B102 type can be installed in one R&S OSP.
In the R&S OSP frame a maximum of three modules is possible. If more than three
modules are required, the extension unit R&S OSP150 must be used. For further
information on the extension unit R&S OSP150 see
chapter 8.2
The description above applies to further options of the R&S OSP as far as the option
has got a similar relay configuration. It will apply to the following modules:
