The compact, versatile SMB100A RF and microwave signal generator with a frequency range up to 40 GHz provides outstanding spectral purity and high output power. In addition, it features easy operation, comprehensive functionality and low cost of ownership.

Wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz or from 100 kHz to 40 GHz
Excellent signal characteristics with low SSB phase noise of typ. –128 dBc (at 1 GHz, 20 kHz offset)
High output power of typ. up to +27 dBm
Compact size with only two height units and low weight

All-purpose signal source

Wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 1.1/2.2/3.2/6 GHz or from 100 kHz to 12.75/20/40 GHz covering the main frequency bands for RF and microwave applications
Frequency extension from 50 GHz to 110 GHz in combination with the R&S®SMZ frequency multiplier
All important analog modulations with AM, FM/single-phase modulation and pulse modulation supported
Support of R&S®NRP-Zxx power sensors
Reverse power protection for high operational reliability included as standard in the models up to 6 GHz (optionally available for the 12.75 GHz model)
Intuitive user interface with graphical display of signal flow for easy operation
Remote control via LAN, USB and GPIB including emulation modes for legacy instruments
Low weight and compact design for a wide range of applications, including mobile applications

Best signal quality in the mid-range

Very low SSB phase noise of typ. –128 dBc at 1 GHz and typ. –108 dBc at 10 GHz carrier frequency (20 kHz carrier offset, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth)
Optional internal low harmonic filters for the 20 GHz and 40 GHz model to lower the harmonics to less than -50 dBc for frequencies above 150 MHz
Innovative DDS-based synthesizer concept

High output power and wide level range

High power over a wide frequency range
Low level range down to –120 dBm (for instruments equipped with step attenuator) with no compromise in quality
High harmonics suppression of < –30 dBc even at high output power

Ideal for production

Wear-free electronic attenuator up to 12.75 GHz ensuring long life even in the case of heavy use in production
High level accuracy and repeatability for high production yield
Closed loop power control ensures highly accurate and very stable input power to the DUT irrespective of unwanted power drifts in the test setup (e.g. caused by a power amplifier in between the signal generator and the DUT)
Short frequency and level setting times which can be further reduced in List mode
Low power consumption

Testing of FM stereo and RDS receivers

Optional stereo/RDS coder for the 1.1/2.2/3.2/6 GHz models
Automatic synchronization of measurement results with the R&S®UPV or R&S®UPP audio analyzer
Up to five different RDS sequences with up to 64 000 characters each
Internal LF generator delivering sinusoidal signals at fixed or swept LF frequencies

Ready for aerospace and defense applications

Optional pulse modulator with typ. > 90 dB ON/OFF ratio and rise/fall time of typ. < 5 ns and pulse generator with minimum pulse width of 10 ns for radar system testing
Flexible generation of pulse trains for simulating complex pulse scenarios (optional)
Wide temperature range of 0 °C to +55 °C and high permissible operating altitude of 4600 m for use even under extreme conditions
Sanitizing of user data for secured areas
High-quality shielding
