Example: IF and frequency band configuration for R&S
SMW-B1006 and
R&S
FE44S
The example shows the IF value for IF low frequency band configuration:
●
"Intermediate Frequency > 4.12 GHz": Frequency of the IF signal for IF low mode
("Frequency Band Config > HWS")
●
"Active RF Connector > RF Out": RF output connector at R&S
FE44S
●
"Frequency Band 1 > 24.00 GHz ... 44.00": Frequency range of the RF output sig-
nal
To work with R&S
FE50DTR Simultaneous RX/TX connection mode
The following procedure describes how to activate and work with "Simultaneous
RX/TX" connection mode of the R&S
FE50DTR external frontend. This connection
mode requires a test setup consisting of a signal generator, an R&S
FE50DTR and a
signal analyzer.
