SMB100A Shown
|
| The SMB100A is designed to set a new standard in the
mid-range. It incorporates the good performance of the predecessor SML, adds
new features and puts it all in a compact housing. One of the major steps is
for sure the extended frequency range up to 6 GHz. So the new instrument
also covers the interesting bands between 3 and 6 GHz which are used by e.g.
WiMAX, WLAN but also pulsed applications can be often found in this range.
With the SMB100A, we will also introduce a new service concept allowing
customers to decide if they want to perform it on their own or use certified
R&S service sites. This opens up the access to many military oriented
customers who prefer to service the instruments on their own. Best
signal quality in its class
- Low SSB phase noise of typ. –128 dBc
(20 kHz carrier offset, 1 GHz carrier frequency, 1 Hz measurement
bandwidth)
- Very low SSB phase noise even at low output frequencies
(because a new DDS synthesizer is used from
9 kHz to 23.4375 MHz instead of a down converter)
- Non-harmonics suppression of typ. –85 dBc
(>10 kHz carrier offset, carrier frequency
<1.5 GHz)
- Low wideband noise of typ. –152 dBc
(>10 MHz carrier offset, 1 GHz
carrier frequency, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth)
- 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 1 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
