Features & benefits

Best signal quality in the mid-range

Lowest SSB Phase noise, harmonics, nonharmonics and wideband noise

  • Very low SSB phase noise of typ. –108 dBc at 10 GHz  (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 

SSB phase noise for different frequencies

High output power and wide level range 

High output power of up to +27 dBm (meas.)

The R&S®SMB100A combines excellent signal quality with a high output power of > +18 dBm as standard for the 12.75 GHz instrument. The maximum measured available output power is up to +27 dBm.
The R&S®SMB-B31 high power option for the 20 GHz model delivers a specified output power of +19 dBm while the R&S®SMB-B32 high power option for the 40 GHz model achieves +16 dBm over a wide frequency range up to 20 GHz and 40 GHz.

Ideal for production 

Easy integration into test systems and innovative operating features

  • Wear-free electronic attenuator up to 12.75 GHz ensuring long operating life
  • 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
  • Short frequency and level settling times which can be further reduced in list mode
  • Low power consumption

Supports R&S®NRP-Zxx power sensors

The R&S®SMB100A supports a variety of R&S®NRP-Zxx USB power sensors.

The R&S®NRP-Z55 is a power sensor that provides an ideal enhancement to the frequency  and level range of the generator up to 40 GHz. Equipped with this power sensor, the R&S®SMB100A automatically performs external level correction and precisely measures power in the test setup.

UCOR (user corretion)

Compensation for external frequency response

DUTs are often connected to the signal generator via long cables or other frequency dependent components, making it very important to compensate for frequency response. The R&S®SMB100A provides a user correction (UCOR) function for this purpose. Together with the R&S®NRP power sensor, UCOR values are automatically determined at the push of a button. The UCOR enables a frequency response compensated RF signal at the new reference plane.

Frequency extension from 50 GHz to 170 GHz

  • R&S®SMB100A signal generator (≥ 20 GHz) plus an external R&S®SMZ frequency multiplier controlled via USB
  • An internal attenuator (mechanically or electronically controlled) can be integrated into the same housing as the frequency multiplier

Closed loop power control

A directional coupler and a connected R&S®NRP-Zxx power sensor can be used to measure DUT input power. An attractive alternative to the directional coupler is the R&S®NRP-Z28 level control sensor. The measurement from the R&S®NRP-Zxx or the R&S®NRP-Z28 is fed back to the R&S®SMB100A, which immediately adjusts its output power to compensate for the discrepancy between the wanted and the measured levels.
