R&S®SMA100B RF and microwave signal generator

The R&S®SMA100B RF and microwave signal generator delivers maximum performance without compromise. It provides purest output signals while maintaining the highest output power level, far outpacing the competition. As the world's leading signal generator, it can handle the most demanding component, module and system T&M tasks in the RF semiconductor, wireless communications and aerospace and defense industries.

Purest Signal

The signal quality of a signal generator deserves special attention. In order to quantitatively measure a DUT, the signal quality of the signal generator must be significantly better than the DUT's performance. Only then it can be ensured that just the DUT is measured. The R&S®SMA100B sets new standards in excellent signal quality with industry leading SSB phase noise (-152 dBc/Hz (typ.) at 1 GHz, 20 kHz offset), lowest harmonics and lowest non-harmonics.

Very high output power without compromise

The R&S®SMA100B RF and microwave signal generator delivers maximum performance without compromise. It provides purest output signals while maintaining the highest output level, far outpacing the competition. The generator`s ultra-high output power option eliminates the need for additional amplifiers while keeping harmonics extremely low. Equipped with the appropriate options, the R&S®SMA100B delivers up to 38 dBm with the 6 GHz instrument and up to 32 dBm in the microwave frequency range with a 20 GHz instrument.

User friendly in every detail

The graphical user interface with high-resolution touch display makes the R&S®SMA100B very ergonomic and practical to use. Context-sensitive online help provides comprehensive information.

In addition to the SCPI command itself, the R&S®SMA100B also offers an SCPI macro recorder with code generator that is used to automatically record manual settings and create an executable MATLAB® script. The display area of a 3 HU instrument is twice as large as the display area of a 2 HU instrument, which makes manual operation in the lab much easier. The instrument can be purchased in 2 or 3 height units, even if fully configured.

Conveniently refresh your technology

When individual pieces of equipment become obsolete before the entire ATE system does, regular calibration and repair of the obsolete equipment becomes expensive and very time consuming. The R&S®SMA100B with R&S®LegacyPro code emulation makes this a straightforward task, reducing the workload and eliminating risks. R&S®LegacyPro enables the R&S®SMA100B to reliably emulate a wide range of legacy generators from vendors such as Keysight, Agilent, HP, Anritsu and Rohde&Schwarz.
