Connecting To A Dut - R&S NRP Series Getting Started

®
R&S NRP Series
To suppress electromagnetic radiation during operation:
● Use high-quality shielded cables, for example, double-shielded RF and inter-
face cables.
● Always terminate open cable ends.
● Ensure that connected external devices comply with EMC regulations.
Signal input and output levels
Information on signal levels is provided in the data sheet. Keep the signal levels
within the specified ranges to avoid damage to the product and connected devi-
ces.
The following applies only to the R&S NRP18S‑xx power sensors:
The test limits specified on the name plate apply only if the power sensor is oper-
ated together with the RF power attenuator supplied. If the power sensor is oper-
ated without attenuator, the lower test limits of the R&S NRP18S power sensor
apply, as specified in the data sheet.
Preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a
DUT.
► NOTICE! Electrostatic discharge can damage the electronic components of
the product and the device under test (DUT).
Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge damage:
a) Use a wrist strap and cord to connect yourself to ground.
b) Use a conductive floor mat and heel strap combination.

Connecting to a DUT

For connecting the power sensor to a DUT, use the RF connector. See
ter 4.1, "RF connector",
To connect to the DUT
1. Ensure that the RF connector of your DUT is compatible with the RF connec-
tor of the power sensor.
