® Short Description of R&S CMU-Z10/…/-Z14 ® The R&S CMU-Z10/-Z11/-Z12/-Z13/Z14 test equipment is a complete solution for simple coupling and interference-free testing of mobile phones (MS) in the complete frequency range between 770 MHz and 2.2 GHz. ® • R&S CMU-Z10 is the basic broadband antenna coupler.
® On its rear side the antenna coupler R&S CMU-Z10 is equipped with two N connectors for input and output of RF test signals, a sub-D connector for input and output of DC, AF or data signals, and an ®...

® R&S CMU-Z10/…/-Z14 Coupling Factors Note: The coupling factors depend on the position of the MS antenna relative to the active coupling zone of the antenna coupler and therefore on the mobile type (for more information see data sheet). Compiling a complete list of coupling factors for all mobile types is not practicable, however, it is sufficient to determine the coupling factors once for all mobiles of the same type.

CMU-Z10/…/-Z14 Replacing the Positioning Plate ® The antenna coupler R&S CMU-Z10 is delivered with two plastic positioning plates, one with two stabilizing pieces and an L-shaped bracket (see Fig. 1 on p. 7), the other with the Universal Mobile Phone Holder mounted. The two plates can be easily exchanged after unscrewing the seven Phillips screws from the top.
® Compliance of the antenna coupler R&S CMU-Z10 with the rated specifications can be checked by connecting the coupler to a network analyzer using the RF cable supplied with the coupler. The VSWR values are listed in the data sheet. The reflection loss is > 4 dB in the frequency range between 0.77 GHz and 0.87 GHz, >...
R&S CMU-Z10/…/-Z14 Maintenance ® The electrical components of the antenna coupler R&S CMU-Z10 and the Bluetooth® antenna do not require any particular maintenance. The mechanical expendable parts are shown in Fig. 11 below. Since 2008-04: Hinge set (1206.9772.00) Protective cover (1206.9795.00)
