Key facts
The R&S®SZU100A I/Q upconverter extends the R&S®SMW200A vector signal generator into the mmWave range. Its 2 GHz bandwidth, flat frequency response and dynamic range of over 80 dB allow the R&S®SZU100A to generate high-quality test signals in the frequency range from 57.32 GHz to 65.80 GHz for WLAN IEEE 802.11ad, 5G or microwave links as well as for test satellite and radar systems. The R&S®SZU100A I/Q upconverter conveniently tests components, chips, transceivers, mobile devices and the communications infrastructure for these applications.
The R&S®SZU100A I/Q upconverter is designed as a remote RF head for the R&S®SMW200A vector signal generator. The R&S®SZU100A fits seamlessly into the operating concept of the R&S®SMW200A. As soon as the upconverter is connected to the R&S®SMW200A via the USB, I/Q and RF connectors, the R&S®SMW200A is converted into a vector signal generator for mmWave applications. An integrated connection test ensures that all cables are connected correctly.
R&S®SZU100A I/Q upconverter test setup
Its design as an RF head allows the R&S®SZU100A to be positioned closely to the DUT, minimizing the need for RF feed lines and the associated line losses. The shorter feed lines also reduce the level ripple over the frequency. Versatile mounting points and adjustable feet provide flexibility when positioning the R&S®SZU100A in the test setup. The R&S®WR15 waveguide connector permits direct mounting of the DUT or an antenna for over-the-air measurements.

The specified maximum output power of +5 dBm (PEP) but typically greater than +10 dBm (PEP) is sufficient to compensate for the increased cable or over-the-air path loss in test setups in the 60 GHz band. An electronic attenuator precisely sets the level to even less than –80 dBm with high level repeatability, fast setting times and exceptional reliability. An integrated level detector ensures a clearly defined output level.
The sophisticated synthesizer design developed by Rohde & Schwarz ensures that both image sidebands and spurs are effectively suppressed across the entire wanted frequency band. Harmonics and nonharmonics are attenuated with more than 50 dBc. When using an R&S®SMW200A with improved phase noise performance, the phase noise at 60.48 GHz with 20 kHz offset is exceptionally low with a typical value of just –102 dBc (1 Hz).
High-quality, wideband-modulated test signals are essential, especially for communications standards such as 5G or WLAN IEEE 802.11ad. The R&S®SZU100A upconverter excels thanks to its outstanding modulation quality. 16 QAM modulated WLAN IEEE 802.11ad signals are generated at a carrier frequency of 60.48 GHz with an EVM of better than –32 dB (meas.). The excellent modulation quality is maintained almost without change – even at low levels.
Rohde & Schwarz fully characterizes every R&S®SZU100A during the production process and programs it with appropriate correction values. During measurements, the R&S®SMW200A applies these corrections automatically. At every level and every frequency, the R&S®SZU100A always offers a flat frequency response of < 2.0 dB over 2 GHz bandwidth, typically even better. This eliminates the need for time-consuming external calibration procedures.
