    ® About This Manual R&S SZU100A About This Manual This user manual which you have received as printed book with your instrument, provides all the specific information about the R&S SZU. The instrument functions and settings concerning the R&S SMW are described in the main R&S SMW user manual.

  • Page 8: Welcome To The R&S Szu

    ® Welcome to the R&S SZU R&S SZU100A Welcome to the R&S SZU The Rohde & Schwarz R&S SZU is an IQ upconverter designed for the 60 GHz frequency band. These frequencies are used in modern high-performance wire- less communication standards, e.g. IEEE802.11 ad. Operating in the 60 GHz fre- quency band enables devices to communicate at multi-gigabit speed, with data transfer rates of several Gbit/s.
  • Page 9 ® Welcome to the R&S SZU R&S SZU100A adjusts the frequency and level values to the output values of this downstream instrument. Thus the R&S SMW controls the R&S SZU almost entirely. You only need to select single ended or differential mode for the baseband connection. It is recom- mended that you work in differential mode due to better common mode noise suppression over the single ended connection.

    ® Startup R&S SZU100A Startup This section explains the required steps and components for starting up with R&S SZU. It describes how to connect the IQ upconverter with the R&S SMW, what you have to observe and how to configure the system in the R&S SMW.

  • Page 19: System Requirements

    ® Startup R&S SZU100A System Requirements Protection of waveguide flanges Protect the waveguide flanges of the IQ upconverter against mechanical damage. Always use a torque wrench to tighten the screws of the waveguide flanges. Shield the waveguides from dust and moisture, and avoid scratching the contact surfaces.

  • Page 20: Measurement Setup

    ® Startup R&S SZU100A Measurement Setup Electromagnetic interference (EMI) affects the measurement results To suppress generated electromagnetic interference: ● Only use the enclosed cables set, as the R&S SZU has been calibrated with these cables. You can find out the corresponding cable set by the serial number, which is the same as the serial number of the R&S SZU.
  • Page 21 ® Startup R&S SZU100A Measurement Setup When setting up the measurement, it is recommended that you consider the following: ● Use only the supplied cables, as described in Electromagnetic interfer- ence (EMI) affects the measurement results. ● Connect the instruments in the given order. In particular, connect the baseband signals before starting up.

    ® Startup R&S SZU100A Starting Up 7. Before connecting to the DUT, configure the R&S SZU in the R&S SMW, see Starting With connecting USB, the R&S SMW recognizes the R&S SZU automatically. The R&S SMW reads all parameters for identification and the calibration table of the R&S SZU, and sets the optimum LO level.
  • Page 23 ® Startup R&S SZU100A Starting Up 2. Select "I/Q OUT 1 > Config...". 3. Select "External Instrument > SZU (<Serial No> Bxxxx)". 4. Select "I/Q Output Type > Differential". Note: If you are working with an R&S SZU in each path, the R&S SMW only supports the single ended mode in both paths.
  • Page 24 ® Startup R&S SZU100A Starting Up 5. Confirm with "Apply and Connect". The R&S SMW establishes the connection to the R&S SZU and shows the "Connections" tab. 6. Select "Check Connections". The R&S SMW checks the connections at the corresponding RF and I/Q con- nectors and displays the results.
