1. Optionally, but recommended: if the DUT has the required holes, insert addi-
tional alignment pins into the holes above and below the waveguide cross-
section.

2. Align the connector of the DUT with the waveguide flange of the test port
adapter on the R&S
SZM.
3. Carefully join the connectors that the alignment pins of both connectors fit into
the holes of the other connector.
4.
NOTICE!
Excessive tightening can damage the connectors.
Screw the nuts of the flange using the hex ball driver provided with the deliv-
ery.

Completing the test setup
The frequency multiplier R&S
SZM operates properly only when connected to a
signal generator that meets the requirements of the R&S
SZM in terms of input
power and input frequency range, e.g. a R&S
SMA100B. The R&S
SMA100B
offers the advantage of controlling the R&S
SZM via USB. This setup functions
like a "one-box" solution. For using the control function via USB, the R&S
SMAB-
K554 multiplier control option must be installed on the R&S
SMA100B.
To complete the R&S
SZM test setup with a R&S
SMA100B
1. Switch on the signal generator.
2. Switch on the R&S
SZM.
Consider the warm-up time for the R&S
SZM according to the data sheet to
fulfill all specifications.

3. Set up the control connection (USB) with the signal generator.
a) Connect the R&S
SZM to the signal generator via the USB connector.

b) For information on how to establish the control connection, see the docu-
mentation of the signal generator.
