The R&S? AFQ100B with a bandwidth of 528 MHz (RF), a clock rate of 600 MHz and a waveform memory of up to 1 Gsample is the correct choice for applications that require high bandwidth. Examples are the support of broadband digital communications systems such as UWB (ultra-wideband) or Aerospace & Defence (A&D) radar applications where signals with extremely short pulses and short rise and fall times might be needed.

• Memory clock rate:
  • Standard Mode (Mode 1): variable clock rate (1 kHz to 300 MHz) can optimally be adjusted to the signal
  • Broadband Mode (Mode 2): very high clock rate of 600 MHz
• RF bandwidth:
  • Standard Mode (Mode 1): 200 MHz
  • Broadband Mode (Mode 2): 528 MHz (especially suited for UWB and A&D applications)
• Long signal duration of up to 1 Gsample (R&S? AFQ-B11 option)
• New WinIQSIM2 option (R&S? AFQ-K264) for flexible UWB signal generation according to the WiMedia Alliance (ECMA-368)
• High bandwidth for generating very short pulses with short rise and fall times
• R&S? Pulse Sequencer Software for generating complex pulse patterns (R&S?AFQ-K6 option)
• Accuracy < 20 ps when starting several instruments simultaneously phased-array antenna development and testing
• Removable hard disk to meet high security requirements
• Excellent spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of typically 78 dBc
• Frequency response of typically ± 0.5 dB across 100 MHz I/Q bandwidth
• Very pure sine wave source
• Analog I/Q outputs (balanced and unbalanced) and optional digital outputs
• Multi-segment waveform for reducing switching time between different test signals and thus improving test throughput
• Numerous trigger and marker capabilities
• Optional BER measurements for characterizing receivers
• Digital standards like WCDMA, LTE, HSPA, WiMAX, WLAN, MB-OFDM UWB using WinIQSIM2""
• Pulsed signals with R&S? Pulse Sequencer Software (R&S?AFQ-K6 option)
• R&S?MATLAB transfer toolbox for easy interoperability with MATLAB?
• R&S?ARB Toolbox for converting numeric I/Q data into waveform files
• Remote control via GPIB, USB, and LAN
• User interface via external monitor or Windows XP Remote Desktop
• USB connectors for USB equipment (keyboard, mouse, memory stick)
