The product is intended for industrial use, for example for production and con- formance testing, maintenance and engineering laboratories. Use the product only for its designated purpose. Observe the operating conditions and perfor- mance limits stated in the data sheet before using the R&S SZM with any signal generator. Target audience This document targets at all users, including technicians, operators, administra- tors and maintenance personnel.
R&S Korea certification class B Table 2-1: Labels regarding R&S SZM and environment safety Labeling in line with EN 50419 for disposal of electrical and electronic equipment after the product has come to the end of its service life. For more information, see "Dispos-...
Manual This manual introduces the R&S SZM and describes how to set up and work with the product. It also provides information on maintenance, storage and disposal. A printed version is delivered with the product.
The R&S SZM frequency multipliers expand the range of microwave systems implemented in a compact one-box solution, exceeding the upper frequency limits of classical microwave signal generators by far. You can operate the R&S SZM with the analog RF and microwave signal generator R&S SMA100B via USB.

Rohde & Schwarz: www.rohde-schwarz.com/prod- uct/szm In addition to the R&S SZM base instrument, the following options are available. For the specification of the R&S SZM, its options, order numbers and possible configurations, see the data sheet.
Rohde & Schwarz. Choosing the operating site Specific operating conditions ensure proper operation and avoid damage to the R&S SZM and connected devices. For information on environmental conditions such as ambient temperature and humidity, see the data sheet. Electromagnetic compatibility classes The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) class indicates where you can operate the product.
R&S SMA100B. To place the R&S SZM on a bench top 1. Place the R&S SZM on a stable, flat and level surface. Ensure that the sur- face can support the weight of the R&S SZM. For information on the weight, see the data sheet.
Preparing for use R&S Considerations for test setup Figure 5-1: Positions for mounting the adjustable feet Connect the R&S SZM to the other devices in the test setup as described in Chapter 5.10, "Completing the test setup", on page 21.
2. Connect the other end of the DC power cable to the DC power supply. If the power switch is on, the R&S SZM starts automatically when you connect the DC power supply. On the rear panel of the R&S SZM, the "Power" LED switches to green.
The R&S SZM is off, but connected to power. The "Power" LED is gray. See Table 5-1. ► On the rear panel of the R&S SZM, set the "Power" switch to position [I]. See Chapter 6.2.2, "Main power switch", on page 27.
3. If your test setup has a DC component at the RF input, insert a DC blocker. 4. Align the connector of the cable with the "RF In" connector of the R&S SZM. 5. Carefully join the connectors so the pin of the device connector fits in the socket of the cable connector.
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.

The generator reads all parameters for identifica- tion and the calibration table of the frequency multiplier. 4. Connect the RF output of the signal generator to "RF In" of the R&S SZM. See also Chapter 5.8, "Connecting to RF...

Completing the test setup b) Set the frequency multiplying factor on the signal generator. Note: You can set the RF output power of the R&S SZM only when the mechanically controlled attenuator option is installed. It is not possible to adjust the R&S SZM output power if no attenuator or the electronically control-...
Front and top panel Instrument tour This chapter provides an overview of the control elements and connectors of the R&S SZM. The meanings of the labels on the R&S SZM are described in Chapter 2.1, "Labels on R&S SZM", on page 10.

If the screw is turned out to the top position, maximum power is provided at the output of the R&S SZM. If the screw is turned in to the bottom position, minimum power is provided at the output of the R&S SZM.
Dismounting the test port adapter If the R&S SZM is equipped with the optional test port adapter (TPA), you can dis- mount the TPA using a hex ball driver (accessory). Without the TPA, the calibra- tion is no more valid (e.g.

2.92 mm coaxial connector with an impedance of 50 Ω for RF signal input. Connect the signal generator or any other device providing the RF input signal to the "RF In" connector on the R&S SZM. Use a cable equipped with an appropri- ate connector.
Securing When moving the R&S SZM in a vehicle or using transporting equipment, make sure that the R&S SZM is properly secured. Only use items intended for securing objects. Transport altitude Unless otherwise specified in the data sheet, the maximum transport altitude with- out pressure compensation is 4500 m above sea level.
® Maintenance, storage and disposal R&S Disposal Maintenance, storage and disposal The product does not require regular maintenance. It only requires occasional cleaning. It is however advisable to check the nominal data from time to time. Cleaning Do not use any liquids for cleaning. Cleaning agents, solvents (thinners, acetone), acids and bases can damage the front panel labeling, plastic parts and display.
