Microwave signals generator R&S SMF100A

Equipped with new options, the R&S Rohde & Schwarz SMF100A already at optimal levels of output power and phase noise single sideband. This microwave signal generator, which is designed for applications in aerospace, defense and telecommunications, combines maximum measurement accuracy with extensive test functions.

Cable attenuation, for example, can cause substantial loss of power, especially in the microwave range. To compensate for this loss, it requires an output signal generator is sufficiently high. The new options R & S SMF-B32 and R & S SMF-B34 guarantee this power by increasing the power output of the R & S SMF100A up to 8 dB (+23 dBm to 20 GHz, +14 dBm at 40 GHz). With new options, it is possible to measure passive and active components at very high frequencies without the need for an external amplifier.
The option R & S SMF-B22 also sets new quality standards for noise single-sideband phase. Users benefit when making measurements in multiplexers and Doppler radar systems, for example. The base unit of the microwave generator and presents exceptional characteristics of phase noise. Equipped with the new option, providing further improvement, even with very close to the signal carrier frequency. For example, a carrier frequency of 10 GHz and an offset of 10 Hz, the improvement is 8 dB.
