Signal Quality:

Low single-sideband phase noise: Typical value –120 dBc

Conditions: 10 GHz; 10 kHz carrier offset; 1 Hz measurement bandwidth

Utilize the option R&S?SMF-B22 to enhance near-field phase noise performance (f=10 GHz; offset 10 Hz; measurement bandwidth 1 Hz; -65 dBc with R&S?SMF-B22; -57 dBc)

Low broadband noise: Typical value at 10 GHz is <-148 dBc

>10 MHz carrier offset; 1 Hz measurement bandwidth; at +10 dBm

Ultra-low harmonic: Typically <-55 dBc at 10 GHz (+10 dBm)

Non-harmonic suppression: At 10 GHz

The typical value is <-62>3 kHz carrier offset; at +10 dBm.

General Application:

Frequency Range: 100 kHz to 43.5 GHz

Frequency, level, and low-frequency scan

AM, Broadcast FM, φM, Pulse Modulation

Two multi-functional generators (10 MHz high)

Suitable for scalar network analysis (when connected with R&S?NRP-Zx power探头)

The pulse generator can produce pulse sequences suitable for radar testing (R&S?SMF-K27 option), which combines pulses of different widths and inter-pulse intervals.
