Rohde & Schwarz SMA100B Signal Generator
The Rohde & Schwarz SMA100B RF/microwave signal generator was developed to provide the best possible performance under the most extreme conditions of test and measurement. The SMA100B generates clean analog signals, offering a high output power and breaking the historical trade-off between signal quality and maximum output power levels. Operating over a very broad frequency range, from 8 kHz to 67 GHz, this device meets the demands of many high-end applications, including RF semiconductor characterization, communication systems, and military/aerospace systems.
Attributes of the SMA100B include its excellent phase noise capabilities via the use of optional oscillators and low-phase-noise modules. Phase noise performance is of particular importance in radar system LO replacement and when testing high-accuracy ADCs. Also, the SMA100B has exceptional output power levels (up to 38 dBm at 6 GHz), making it unnecessary to add additional amplifiers to an automated test equipment setup. Additionally, the Signal Generator includes a second output that can be used as a clean clock source for converter tests. The SMA100B is designed to be easily integrated into your test environment by offering two- or three-unit-tall enclosures and an easy-to-use touch screen interface. Also, the generator includes an electronic step attenuator that will allow you to quickly switch between different output levels using an electrical switch instead of a mechanical one.
SMA100Bs are typically used in all aspects of research and development as well as production. These devices are often required to evaluate high-speed ADC/DAC converters, verify radar receiver sensitivity using precise narrow pulses, and generate complex waveforms such as chirped signals. As part of system integration, the R&S LegacyPro software that is included will enable it to emulate a variety of other legacy signal generators from many different manufacturers. This will make upgrading to an SMA100B in an existing Automated Test Equipment (ATE) rack simple and cost-effective by allowing the user to maintain their original software. Overall, the combination of the SMA100B's spectral purity, high power, and flexibility establishes it as a fundamental tool for high-accuracy signal generation throughout the entire product life cycle.
