R&S®SML / R&S®SMV03 Putting into Operation

1 Putting into Operation

his chapter contains all information about putting into operation (unpacking, connection to AC supply,

T switching on and off), functional testing and installation of the instrument, preset settings and views of the front and rear panel showing the controls and connectors needed for operation.

General Instructions

Before putting the R&S SML / R&S SMV03 into operation, please make sure that

• the cover of the casing are put on and screwed,

• the ventilation openings are free,

• no signal voltage levels exceeding the permissible limits are applied at the inputs,

• the outputs of the instrument are not overloaded or connected incorrectly.

If these points are not observed, the instrument might be damaged.

Unpacking the Instrument

 Take the instrument out of the shipping box and check whether the

items listed in the packing list and in the lists of accessories are all included.

 Remove the two protective caps from the front and rear of the

remove protective cabs

Should the instrument be damaged, immediately notify the forwarder who shipped the instrument to you and keep the box and packing material. For further transport or shipment of the instrument the original packing should also be used. It is recommended to keep at least the two protective caps for front and rear side in order to prevent damage to the controls and connectors.

instrument and carefully check the instrument for damage.

1090.3123.12 E-6 1.1

Putting into Operation R&S SML / R&S SMV03

Setting up the Instrument

For applications in the laboratory or on a work bench, it is recommended that the support feet on the bottom of the instrument be extended. For the LCD display, this provides the optimum viewing angle which typically ranges from perpendicular to the display front to approximately 30° below.

Warning Danger of injury

The feet may fold in if they are not folded out completely or if the instrument is shifted. The feet may break if they are overloaded. Fold the feet completely in or completely out to ensure stability of the instrument and personal safety. To avoid injuries, never shift the instrument when its feet are folded out. The overall load (the instrument's own weight plus that of the instruments stacked on top of it) on the folded-out feet must not exceed 500 N. Place the instrument on a stable surface. Secure the instruments stacked on top of it against slipping (e.g. by locking their feet on the top front frame). When the instrument is standing on its folded-out feet, do not work under the instrument and do not put anything under it, otherwise injuries or material damage could occur.

The instrument can be used in each of the positions shown here.

Cleaning the Outside and Storing

What is necessary is essentially the cleaning of the instrument.

ATTENTION

Instrument damage caused by cleaning agents!

Cleaning agents contain substances that may damage the instrument, e.g. solventcontaining cleaning agents may damage the front panel labeling or plastic parts. Never use cleaning agents such as solvents (thinners, acetone, etc), acids, bases, or other substances.

The outside of the instrument is suitably cleaned using a soft, line-free dust cloth.

1090.3123.12 E-6 1.2

R&S®SML / R&S®SMV03 Putting into Operation

Supply Voltage

The R&S SML / R&S SMV03 can be operated at a.c. systems from 100 to 120 V and 200 to 240 V at system frequencies from 50 to 60 Hz. The power supply socket is situated at the rear of the instrument. The instrument automatically sets itself to the voltage applied within the permissible voltage ranges. It is not necessary to set the instrument to a certain supply voltage.

How to Ensure EMC

In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, the instrument may only be operated when it is closed and with all shielding covers fitted. Only appropriate shielded signal and control cables may be used.

Power Fuses

The R&S SML / R&S SMV03 is protected against short circuits by means of two fuses according to nameplate of the power supply. The fuses are situated in the draw-out fuse holder which is inserted close to the power supply socket (see below).

Power supply socket

Switching On/Off the Instrument

On/Off switch at the front of the instrument

Initial Status

Upon switching on, the instrument automatically assumes the status which was set when it was switched off. If the instrument need not to be operated from the initial status any further, a defined default status should be established by pressing the [PRESET] and [SELECT] keys prior to further settings.

Frequency accuracy after switching on when the oven-controlled reference oscillator is fitted (option R&S SML-B1)

Switch on:  Press switch. The instrument is ready for operation.

Switch off:  Release switch.

The reference oscillator needs some minutes of warm-up time to reach its nominal frequency. During this period of time, the output frequency does not yet reach its final value either. In the status line in the header field of the display the message "OVEN COLD" is displayed for this time.

1090.3123.12 E-6 1.3

Putting into Operation R&S SML / R&S SMV03

RAM With Battery Back-Up

The R&S SML / R&S SMV03 has a static read-write memory (CMOS-RAM) with battery back-up, in which 50 different complete settings of the instrument can be stored (cf. Chapter 3, section "Storing and Calling of Instrument Settings"). In addition, all data and/or lists the user enters himself, such as for user correction of the level, are stored in the RAM. Further, all data of the calibrations running within the instrument in the R&S SML / R&S SMV03 are stored in the RAM (cf. Chapter 4, section "Calibration"). A lithium battery with a service life of approx. 5 years serves to supply the RAM with power. When the battery is discharged, the data stored will be lost. Exchanging the battery is described in the Service Manual.

Preset Setting

A defined setting status is achieved by pressing the [PRESET] key. Preset Status: RF frequency 100 MHz RF level -10 dBm Reference frequency internal, adjustment off Offsets 0 Modulations switched off Transient-free level setting switched off, level attenuator mode: Auto Internal level control level Alc: On User correction level Ucor: Off LF output switched off Sweep switched off Suppression of indications system security: unaltered Protection of calibration data protection lock: unaltered Settings stored unaltered Data, lists etc. stored unaltered IEC-bus address unaltered All parameters and circuit states, even those of operating modes which are not activated, are preset by means of Preset. The presettings going beyond the above list can be seen from the menu representations as of Chapter 4 which each indicate the Preset setting status.

Functional Test

On switching on the instrument and permanently during operation, the R&S SML / R&S SMV03 carries out a self test. The ROM contents as well as the battery of the non-volatile RAM are checked. The most important instrument functions are automatically monitored during operation. If an error is detected, the message "Err" is displayed in the status line. For further identification of the error, press the [ERROR] key. Thereupon a description of the error is displayed (cf. Chapter 9, section "Error Messages"). Return to the menu exited by pressing the [BACK] key. If required, internal test points can be polled by the user and the results be read out and displayed, cf. Service Manual.

Mounting into a 19" Rack

The R&S SML / R&S SMV03 can be mounted into a 19" rack by means of rack adapter ZZA-211 (stock no. 1096.3260.00). The mounting instructions are attached to the adapter.

ATTENTION

1090.3123.12 E-6 1.4

3 Manual Operation

This chapter shows the design of the display and describes the manual control of the signal generator, for example calling up of menus, selection and editing of parameters, use of the list editor and the SAVE/RECALL function. This chapter also contains an overview of menus showing the functions available for the instruments and its options.

It is useful to read the sample settings for first users in Chapter 2, "Short Tutorial".

Design of the Display

(1)

(2)

(3)

Fig. 3-1 Design of the display

(1) Header field

(2) Status line

(3) Menu fields

The header field of the display indicates frequency and level of the RF output signal. In the RF-sweep operating mode, the start and stop frequencies are displayed in two lines one above the other. The start and stop levels are indicated in the LEVEL-sweep operating mode correspondingly.

The status line indicates at the left the menu path of the current menu and at the

right the operating mode and operating state of the instrument. Error messages and notes for caution are also displayed in the status line.

The indication fields below the status line are reserved for the menu

representations. The image contents of these fields change as a function of the menu selected.

The lowest menu level shows the setting menu with the current settings of the selected menu. Settings are made in select or input windows which open when the current setting is activated.

Menu cursor The menu cursor shows the user at which position in the menu he

is. The position of the menu cursor is evident from the inverse notation of the term (white characters on a black background).

Digit cursor As a bright field, the digit cursor marks the position which can be

varied by means of the rotary knob in a value indication.

1090.3123.12 E-6 3.1

Basic Operating Steps R&S®SML / R&S®SMV03

Basic Operating Steps

To operate the instrument, menus are called in the display. All setting possibilities and the current setting status are evident from the menus. All settings can be made by accessing the menus. RF frequency and RF level can also be set without menu operation using keys [FREQ] and [LEVEL]. RF signal and modulation can also be switched on/off without menu operation using keys [RF ON/OFF] and/or [MOD ON/OFF].

Calling the menus

Accessing the menus is effected using rotary knob [VARIATION], [SELECT] key and [BACK] key.

Rotary knob

[SELECT] key

[BACK] key

Settings are accessed in the setting menus ending with the right-hand display margin.

Rotary knob [VARIATION] moves the menu cursor over the positions of a menu level to be selected. If a scrollbar is visible at the right-hand margin of a menu, the menu is larger than the screen window. If the menu cursor is moved to the margin of the screen window, the covered lines become visible.

If the rotary knob is pressed after a position has been selected, the lower menu level or the respective settings are called. The rotary knob hence has the same function as the [SELECT] key.

The [SELECT] key acknowledges the selection marked by means of the menu cursor. Depending on the position, the next lower menu level or the the respective setting is called.

The [BACK] key

- returns the menu cursor to the next higher menu level; the menu cursor is shifted to the left into the preceding column of the menu structure,

- resets the menu cursor from frequency or level value indication in the header field into the menu field to the menu called last,

- closes the display pages called using keys [STATUS], [HELP] and [ERROR] again.

4 Instrument Functions

This chapter describes the functions of the instrument and its options which can be activated manually via menus or by remote control (frequency and level settings, analog modulations, sweep, and general functions not directly related to signal generation).

RF Frequency

The RF frequency can be set directly using the [FREQ] key or via the Frequency menu. In the Frequency menu, the frequency of the RF output signal is entered and indicated under Frequency.

In frequency settings made with the [FREQ] key, an arithmetic offset is taken into account. Such settings are indicated in the header line of the display. This makes it possible to enter the desired output frequency of subsequent units, if any (eg mixers). The offset can also be entered in the Frequency menu (see next section: "Frequency Offset").

Frequency Offset

On the R&S SML / R&S SMV03 it is possible to enter an offset for subsequent units, if any, in the Frequency menu. Such entries are taken into account in the frequency displayed in the header line, which indicates the frequency of the RF signal at the output of the units in question (see Fig. 4-2).

The frequency of the RF output signal in the Frequency menu is calculated from the frequency displayed in the header line and offset values as follows:

RF output frequency = frequency displayed in header line – offset

The entry of an offset causes a change of the frequency value displayed in the header line (the value taking into account the offset is displayed). The value of the RF output frequency is displayed under Frequency in the Frequency menu.

The entered offset remains active also for frequency sweeps.

Fig. 4-2 Typical setups with frequency offset

Extended Divider Range

For frequencies of equal or greater than 77 MHz, the R&S SML / R&S SMV03 generates the RF signals by means of frequency division or frequency multiplication. Below 77 MHZ the RF signals are normally generated by frequency mixing. This results in good modulation capabilities but reduced single-side phase noise. (see fig. "Typical SSB phase noise versus carrier frequency" in the datasheet). When the extended divider range is activated excellent single-sideband phase noise values will be obtained in the frequency range from approximately 9.5 MHz to 77 MHz but all other specifications of the R&S SML / R&S SMV03 cannot be guaranteed for this operation mode.

1090.3123.12 E-6 4.2

R&S®SML / R&S®SMV03 RF Level

RF Level

The RF level can be set directly using the [LEVEL] key or via the Level - Level menu.

In the Level - Level menu, the set RF output level is entered and indicated under Amplitude.

In level settings made with the [LEVEL] key, the offset of a subsequent attenuator/amplifier is taken into account (see section "Level Offset"). This makes it possible to enter the desired level at the output of subsequent units. The offset can also be entered in the Level - Level menu under Offset.

dBm, dBFV, mV and FV can be used as level units. The four unit keys are labelled with the respective units. To change to another level unit, simply press the corresponding unit key.

IEC-Bus-Befehl :UNIT:POW DBM | VOLT | V

Using this command, the basic unit of the RF level only can be changed and set. Simultaneously, the displayed unit is changed accordingly.

Notes: - The note "Unleveled" appears in the status line if the displayed level is not attained.

R&S®SML / R&S®SMV03 RF Level

Indicated value

Level Offset

On the R&S SML / R&S SMV03, it is possible to enter an offset for a subsequent attenuator/amplifier, if any, in the Level menu. The offset is taken into account in the display in the header line (see below), which represents the level value of the signal at the output of the subsequent unit (see Fig. 4-4).

The level of the RF output signal is therefore calculated from the amplitude displayed in the header line and the offset entered in the Level - Level menu as follows:

RF output level = amplitude displayed in the header line – offset

The entered offset has no influence on the RF output signal of the R&S SML / R&S SMV03; the offset is only taken into account in the displayed level value. The value with the offset can be directly entered with the [LEVEL] key.

The RF output level of the R&S SML / R&S SMV03 is indicated in the Level - Level menu.

Non-Interrupting Level Setting

With Attenuator Mode Fixed, non-interrupting level setting is performed. Level settings are made electronically only in a 20-dB range downwards from switching level with fixed attenuator. (Full “Fix”Range 28/30-dB overrange aprox.)

Note: Level accuracy and spectral purity are not guaranteed over the full “Fix”Range.

If the level falls below the permissible variation range, the warning "Level underrange" is output in the status line of the display; if it attains or goes beyond the upper limit value, the warning "Level overrange" or “Unleveled” is output.

Please note limit and/or other limiting factors.

User Correction (Ucor)

The "User correction" function can be used to create and activate lists in which level correction values are assigned to arbitrary RF frequencies.

Up to 10 lists with a total of 160 correction values can be compiled. For frequencies not included in the list, level correction values are determined by interpolation based on the nearest correction values.

When user correction is switched on, Ucor (user correction) is displayed in the header field in addition to the level. The RF output level is the sum of both values.

Level + Ucor = output level

If an offset is selected at the same time, the displayed level value is the difference between the amplitude and the offset entered in the Level menu.

R&S®SML / R&S®SMV03 Modulation - General

Modulation - General

The R&S SML / R&S SMV03 offers the following modulation types :

• Amplitude modulation (AM),

• Frequency modulation (FM),

• Phase modulation (M),

• Pulse modulation PULSE (Option R&S SML-B3),

• Stereo modulation STEREO (Option R&S SML-B5),

• Vector modulation VECTOR (R&S SMV03 only),

For all modulations except vector modulation an internal or external modulation source can be used. For stereo modulation external analog R or L signals can be applied. The operation modes R, L, R=L, R=-L and RL are available. In addition the R&S SML / R&S SMV03 provides an S/P DIF input for externally generated digital stereo signals. Vector modulation requires external modulation signals.

Modulation Sources

Internal modulation source

For AM and FM/M, an internal modulation generator (Lfgen) is available. For more information see section "LF Generator". ". The generator can also be used for analog stereo modulation. In this case the operation modes R, L, R=L, R=-L are available. For more information see section "Stereo Modulation (option R&S SML-B5)".

For internal pulse modulation (option R&S SML-B3), the instrument is equipped with a pulse generator. For more information see section "Pulse Generator".

External modulation source for AM, FM/!M) and PULSE

For external modulation, input connectors MOD (AM, FM/M) and PULSE (Pulse modualtion) are available. External AM and FM/M can be AC- or DC-coupled.

External modulation signals should have a voltage of V

= 1 V (V

displayed modulation depth or deviation.

External modulation sources for stereo modulation

External modulation signals should have a voltage of V

= 1 V (V

1090.3123.12 4.9 E-6

Modulation - General R&S®SML / R&S®SMV03

Extrenal modulation sources for vector modulation

For external vector modulation, input connectors I and Q are available at the rear panel of the SMV03 (input impedances 50 ). To avoid the I/Q modulator being overdriven the input voltage should never exceed I

+ Q2= 0.5 V.

Simultaneous Modulation

If vector modulation is deactivated then basically any combination of AM, FM/M/stereo and pulse modulation is possible. There are restrictions only for FM,M. and stereo. The same is true for activated vector modulation. Though, then there is an additional restriction for AM.

Two-tone AM and two-tone FM/M can be selected via menu (Modulation - AM (FM/M) - AM (FM/M) Source - Two Tone).

Mutual Switch-Off of Modulation Types

As FM,M and stereo use the same modulator, they cannot be activated simultaneously. They deactivate one another. In a similar way the same is true for AM and vector modulation. For AM the level control has to be activated while vector modulation requires the level control being deactivated.

Note: IEC/IEEE-bus control according to SCPI does not allow the selection of the incompatible



modulation types FM, when an attempt is made to activate these types of modulation (see Chapter 9).

M and stereo. With remote control, an error message is output

[MOD ON/OFF] Key

The various types of modulation can be switched on and off directly using the [MOD ON/OFF] key or via the Modulation menu. If switch-on is made using the [MOD ON/OFF] key, the modulation sources which are set in the modulation menus are used.

The [MOD ON/OFF] key can be effective either for all types of modulation or only for a selected modulation. The selection of modulation types for which the [MOD ON/OFF] key is to be effective is made in the Utilities – Mod Key menu.

If only one type of modulation is selected, it is switched on or off each time the [MOD ON/OFF] key is pressed.

If all modulation types are selected, the [MOD ON/OFF] key has the following effect:

• If at least one modulation type is active: Pressing the [MOD ON/OFF] key switches off all active modulation types. The modulation types which were active are stored.

• If no modulation type is active: Pressing the [MOD ON/OFF] key switches on the modulation types that were last switched off with this key.

Pulse Modulation (Option R&S SML-B3) R&S®SML / R&S®SMV03

Pulse Modulation (Option R&S SML-B3)

The pulse modulator can be controlled from an external source or by an internal pulse generator. With external control, the external source feeds the pulse modulator directly. The envelope of the RF is identical to the control signal. With control by the internal pulse generator, the pulse shape of the pulse generator determines the envelope of the RF. The pulse delay, pulse width and pulse period can be set.

The polarity of pulse modulation is selectable. With Pulse Polarity = Normal, the RF level is switched on if HIGH level is present at the PULSE modulation input.

Settings for the pulse modulation and the pulse generator can be made in the Modulation - Pulse menu.

Pulse Generator

As an internal modulation source, the pulse generator offers the possibility of setting single and double pulses with variable pulse delay, pulse width and pulse period. The pulse generator can be triggered internally or by an external signal at the PULSE input. The following Pulse modi can be selected: Auto Trig, Ext Trig, and Ext Gated (see Fig. 4-13 to Fig. 4-15). The internal trigger signal is derived from the reference frequency and hence very stable. In the trigger mode Ext Trig, the positive or the negative edge can be used for triggering the pulse generator. In the trigger mode Ext Gated, the pulse generator is triggered as long as an active Gate signal arrives at the PULSE input.

The pulse generator can also be used as an independent unit, ie without the pulse modulator being controlled if the pulse modulation source (Pulse Source) is switched to OFF or EXT. The pulse can be tapped at the VIDEO output.
