Signal Generator 9KHz-3G/6G
Outstanding signal characteristics, high flexibility, and low cost are the primary criteria for our signal source selection. The R&S SMB100A analog signal generator fully meets these requirements, as that is precisely the purpose of its design.
From a technical standpoint, the R&S SMB100A has set a new standard for mid-range equipment, particularly in terms of high output power and signal purity. Moreover, the service philosophy of R&S SMB100A allows users to perform their own maintenance.
Utilizing a simple modular design, on-site equipment service is possible - convenient and quick, thereby reducing users' equipment holding costs and ensuring high availability for laboratory and production applications.
Product Features
Standard with high output power
Output power specifications >+18 dBm within the 1 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range
◆ The typical level in the 6 GHz frequency range is +25 dBm (maximum)
Mid-range signal source with good signal quality
◆ The SSB phase noise is extremely low, with a typical value of -128 dBc (20 kHz carrier offset, f = 1 GHz, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth).
Even at low output frequencies, it maintains exceptionally low SSB phase noise (utilizing a new DDS synthesizer from 9 kHz to 23.4375 MHz instead of a downconverter).
◆ Typical non-harmonic suppression value is -85 dBc (carrier offset >10 kHz, carrier frequency 10 MHz, 1 GHz carrier frequency, level >5 dBm)
◆ At +18 dBm output power, the harmonic typical value is –30 dBc.
On-site equipment maintenance, easy and convenient
Flexible design concept allows for equipment maintenance on-site or at Rohde & Schwarz's service center.
Simple modular design, consisting of only four replaceable modules, shortening equipment maintenance time
◆ Only the modules that need calibration need to be replaced, simplifying the instrument calibration and adjustment process.
Self-test mode for built-in modules for easy equipment maintenance
◆ By connecting the NRP series power sensors, level accuracy can be adjusted and automatic level correction can be performed (available since April 2008).
Application
General RF Signal Generator
◆ Wide frequency range of 9 kHz to 6 GHz, covering the main frequency bands in radio frequency applications
◆ Comprehensive frequency, level, and low-frequency scan functions
Supports AM, FM/φM, pulse modulation, and all other major analog modulation methods
The internal low-frequency signal generator provides a sine wave signal up to 1 MHz and a square wave signal up to 20 kHz.
◆ Intuitive user interface and graphical display of signal flow for easy operation
Contextual online help features to ensure effective utilization of the instrument
Ideal tool for production measurement
◆ The typical switching speed for frequency control in remote operation is 1.6 ms, and for level control, it's 1.2 ms. In "List" mode, the typical value is...
