Rohde & Schwarz SMU200A Vector Signal Generator

Overview

The Rohde & Schwarz SMU200A is a modular vector signal generator combining up to two RF signal generators in a single compact unit. With frequency coverage from 100 kHz to 6 GHz for the first RF path and up to 3 GHz for the optional second path, it provides outstanding signal quality with low phase noise and excellent ACLR characteristics ideal for production testing and R&D applications.

Key Features

• RF frequency range: 100 kHz to 6 GHz (first path) and 100 kHz to 3 GHz (second path, optional)
• I/Q modulator with 200 MHz RF bandwidth (external input) or 80 MHz (internal baseband)
• Low SSB phase noise: typically -135 dBc (1 GHz, 20 kHz offset)
• High output power: up to +13 dBm (standard), +26 dBm (with high-power option)
• Electronic attenuator with zero wear-and-tear over full level range
• Universal baseband generator for 3GPP FDD/TDD, LTE, GSM/EDGE, TD-SCDMA, WLAN, and other standards
• Arbitrary waveform generator with 16/64/128 Msample memory options
• Digital baseband signal combination and frequency offset control
• Optional internal fading simulator with up to 40 fading paths
• Very short frequency setting: <2 ms standard, <450 µs in List mode
• Intuitive color display with block diagram signal flow visualization
• Remote control via Gigabit Ethernet (LAN), GPIB, or Windows Remote Desktop

Applications

• 3GPP FDD base station and mobile station simulation with up to 4 code channels
• Multistandard signal generation (3GPP, LTE, LTE-Advanced, GSM, WLAN, etc.)
• Multicarrier amplifier testing with interference signal simulation
• 2×2 or higher MIMO testing with real-time fading simulation
• Out-of-band blocking measurements and adjacent channel testing
• Production automatic test sequences with List mode
