Connecting the Agilent 11982A to an Oscilloscope

Connecting the Agilent 11982A to an
Oscilloscope
To connect the Agilent 11982A to an oscilloscope, perform the following steps:
1 If you have not done so already, read
for Use" for instructions about connecting the Agilent 11982A to an ac power
supply.
2 Connect an SMA or APC 3.5 mm adapter to the Agilent 11982A RF OUTPUT.
Note
The SMA female-to-female adapter that is shipped with the Agilent 11982A has been
provided as a "connector saver." Connecting cables to the SMA adapter instead of
directly to the Agilent 11982A's RF OUTPUT connector avoids excessive wear of the RF
OUTPUT connector.
3 Connect the RF OUTPUT of the Agilent 11982A to the selected input channel of
the oscilloscope with an SMA or semi-rigid coax cable.
4 Clean the optical connectors.

5 Connect the optical connector interface to the OPTICAL INPUT. Notice that the
connector interface has a small protrusion. This protrusion fits in the slot of the
OPTICAL INPUT connector.
6 Attach the fiber-optic cable to the connector interface.
7 Connect the laser source to the fiber-optic cable.
8 Turn on the equipment. The lightwave converter should warm up for
30 minutes before use.
