Signal Generator Overview

Rear Panel

25. SMI (SOURCE MODULE INTERFACE)

This interface is used to connect to compatible Agilent Technologies 83550 Series mm-wave source modules.

26. 10 MHz OUT

This female BNC connector outputs a nominal signal level of > +4 dBm and has an output impedance of 50. The accuracy is determined by the timebase used.

27. 10 MHz IN

This female BNC connector accepts an external timebase reference input signal level of >3 dBm. The reference must be 1, 2, 2.5, 5, or 10 MHz, within ±1 ppm. The signal generator detects when a valid reference signal is present at this connector and automatically switches from internal to external reference operation. The nominal input impedance is 50. For Option UNR, this BNC connector accepts a signal with a nominal input level of 5 ±5 dBm. The external frequency reference must be 10 MHz, within ±1 ppm. The nominal input impedance is 50with a damage level of 10 dBm.

28. 10 MHz EFC (Option UNR)

This female BNC input connector accepts an external dc voltage, ranging from 5 to +5V, for electronic frequency control (EFC) of the internal 10 MHz reference oscillator. This voltage inversely tunes the oscillator about its center frequency approximately 0.0025 ppm/V. The input resistance is greater than

1 M. When not in use, this connector should be shorted using the supplied shorting cap to assure a stable operating frequency.
