NOTE. Make sure that any adaptor and cable you use is specified to operate a t the frequency range of the test you
are performing. Connector frequency ranges:
BNC:DCto1GHztyp
ical, up to 3 GHz for certain BNC cable/connectors.
N:DCto18GHztypical
SMA: DC to 18 GHz typical, up to 26.5 GHz for certa
in SMA cable/connectors.
Preliminary c hecks
Do these steps before starting the performance verification procedures.
Warm up the instrument
1. Connect the RSA306 USB cable to the host PC.
The LED on the RSA306 should initially glow red then turn green
after a few moments.
2. Make sure the SignalVu-PC application is connected to the RSA 306 over USB.
