Considerations for test setup
Cable selection and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can affect the measurement results.
To suppress electromagnetic radiation during operation:
●
Use high-quality shielded cables, for example, double-shielded RF and LAN
cables.
●
Always terminate open cable ends.
●
Ensure that connected external devices comply with EMC regulations.
Signal input and output levels
Information on signal levels is provided in the data sheet. Keep the signal levels within

Connecting to power
The R&S
QAT provides an AC power connector on the rear panel.
You can use different AC power voltages. The R&S
QAT adapts itself automatically.
Refer to the datasheet for the requirements of voltage and frequency.
For safety information, see
1. Plug the AC power cable into the AC power connector on the rear panel of the
