To connect a signal analyzer
The following procedure describes how to connect R&S
SMW and a directional coupler
to an Rohde
&
Schwarz signal analyzer as alignment source. The R&S
SMW and sig-
nal analyzer are switched on and connected to power.
For prerequisites of the signal analyzer, see
1. Connect "RF Input 50
Ω
" connector of the signal analyzer the RF output of the
directional coupler.
2. Establish a LAN connection between R&S
SMW and signal analyzer.

"To align RF ports with a signal analyzer"
To load a bandwidth extension setup
If you save a configured bandwidth extension setup to a file, you can load this configu-
ration to the R&S
SMW.
1. Select "System Configuration" > "Multi Instrument" > Bandwidth Extension".
By default, no setup is loaded. The block diagram of the test setup shows the notifi-
cation "no setup loaded".
2. To load a bandwidth extension file a predefined file, select "Setup".
In the opening file-select dialog, you can select files with file extension
*.bwsa
.
