Harmonics of typ. –30 dBc at the maximum specified output power of +18 dBm for high measurement accuracy in a wide variety of applications
Highest output power in its class
Specified output power of +18 dBm over the wide frequency range of 1 MHz to 6 GHz
Typical maximum level of +25 dBm (in overrange) over the entire frequency range up to 6 GHz provides power reserve to replace external amplifiers
On-site servicing as convenient alternative
Flexible concept allows servicing to be done on site or by a Rohde & Schwarz service center
Straightforward modular instrument design with only four exchangeable modules ensures short repair times
Calibrated replacement modules make extensive calibration and adjustment tasks unnecessary
Built-in selftest of modules supports troubleshooting
Verification of level accuracy and automatic level correction with a connected power sensor of the R&S NRP family ensures low cost of ownership and maximum instrument availability
All-purpose RF source
Wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz covers the main frequency bands for RF applications
Integrated frequency, level, and LF sweeps
All important analog modulations with AM, FM/φM, and pulse modulation supported
Internal LF generator provides sinewave signals up to 1 MHz as well as squarewave signals up to 20 kHz
Intuitive user interface with graphical display of the signal flow facilitates operation
Context-sensitive online help ensures efficient utilization of the instrument makes the R&S SMB100A the ideal signal source for a wide variety of applications
Ideal for production
Short switchover times for frequency of typ. 1.6 ms and level of typ. 1.2 ms via remote control and <1 ms in the List mode allow high throughput
High level accuracy and repeatability are the basis of high production yield
High output power of up to +25 dBm compensates level loss on the way to the DUT
Wearfree electronic attenuator with overvoltage protection up to 6 GHz as standard ensures long service life even in the case of heavy use in production
Compact design with only two height units saves rack space
Remote control via LAN, USB, and GPIB allows easy integration into the test system reduces production costs
Ready for aerospace and defense applications
Optional pulse modulator offers excellent performance with typ. 90 dB on/off ratio and a rise/fall time of typ. 10 ns
Flexible pulse generator with minimum pulse width of 20 ns allows the generation of various pulse signals
Wide temperature range of 0 °C to +55 °C and maximum permissible operating altitude of 4600 m above sea level allow the instrument to be used even under extreme conditions
Low weight of only 5.3 kg for mobile applications expands the range of locations and applications for which the R&S SMB100A can be used
