Rohde & Schwarz R&S SMA100A Signal Generator
Key features
Excellent signal quality
Very low SSB phase noise of typ. –1 34 dBc (20 kHz carrier offset, f = 1 GHz, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth), typ. –141 dBc with the enhanced phase noise performance option (R&S®SMA-B22)
Wideband noise of –162 dBc (meas.) with carrier offset > 40 MHz, f = 1 GHz, level = 9 dBm, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth
Nonharmonics of < –96 dBc (carrier offset > 10 kHz, f < 750 MHz, with the R&S®SMA-B22 option)
High-stability reference oscillator as standard
Very low phase noise at low frequencies due to internal division of the fundamental frequency range (750 MHz to 1500 MHz) down to 6.6 MHz
Ideal for use in production
Very short frequency/level setting times of < 700 μs ( meas.) across the entire frequency and level range, < 450 μs in List mode
Fast Hopping mode with flexibly addressable frequency and level pairs, as fast as normal List mode
Frequency setting time of typ. < 10 μs within a bandwidth of up to 80 MHz due to direct access to the DDS-based synthesizer (with the R&S®SMA-B20 or -B22 option; FM EXTERNAL DIGITAL mode)
Very high level accuracy and repeatability
High output power of up to +18 dBm, overrange up to +28 dBm
Electronic attenuator with built-in overvoltage protection over entire frequency range
Minimum space requirements due to compact size (only two height units)
Aerospace and defense applications
Pulse modulator with excellent characteristics (on/off ratio of > 100 dB ( meas.) for f < 5.5 GHz, rise/fall time typ. < 7 ns)
Pulse generator integrated as standard
Optional high-performance pulse generator with minimum pulse width of 10 ns (R&S®SMA-K23)
Optional generation of versatile pulse sequences/pulse trains (R&S®SMA-K27)
Optional chirp modulation (R&S®SMA-B20 or R&S®SMA-B22)
Optional VOR/ILS modulation (R&S®SMA-K25)
Optional DME modulation/analysis (R&S®SMA-K26)
Optional operating altitude up to 4600 m (R&S®SMA-B46)
Optional removable mass storage (CompactFlash™ card, R&S®SMA-B80)
All-purpose instrument
Frequency range of 9 kHz to 3 GHz (R&S®SMA-B103/R&S®SMA-B103L) or 6 GHz (R&S®SMA-B106/R&S®SMA-B106L)
Frequency, level and LF sweeps
Phase-continuous frequency setting
AM, broadband FM/φM (R&S®SMA-B20 or R&S®SMA-B22), pulse modulation
Built-in LF generator up to 1 MHz, optional multifunction generator (R&S®SMA-K24) up to 10 MHz
Optional low-jitter clock synthesizer up to 1.5 GHz (R&S®SMA-B29)
Power measurement using R&S®NRP-Zxx power sensors
Optional power analysis (R&S®SMA-K28) using R&S®NRP-Zxx power sensors for scalar network analysis or automatic pulse parameter measurement
Intuitive operating concept and versatile interfaces
Color display with 480 × 272 pixels
Intuitive user interface with graphical display of signal flow (block diagram)
Context-sensitive online help
Remote control via GPIB, LAN or USB
Selectable control language (SCPI or remote control emulation of various signal generators)
Remote operation by browser (or VNC client)
USB connectors (e.g. for keyboard, mouse, memory stick)
Support of R&S®NRP-Zxx power sensors for precise power measurements
