The new R&S®SMB100B RF signal generator is all about performance and versatility in a small footprint combined with comprehensive functionality and very simple operation.
R&S®SMB100B with connected R&S®NRP power sensor (via USB).
Very low SSB phase noise of < –134 dBc (meas.) at 1 GHz and an offset of 20 kHz
In order to improve a DUT, the signal quality of the signal source has to be significantly better than the DUT’s performance. Thanks to its innovative synthesizer design, the R&S®SMB100B has very low SSB phase and wideband noise and excellent suppression of nonharmonic signal components.
SSB phase noise (1 GHz, 1 Hz bw, meas.)
SSB phase noise of the R&S®SMB100B base unit, with the R&S®SMBB-B1 option (OCXO) and with the R&S®SMBB-B1H option (high performance OCXO).
Ultra high output power of 34 dBm (meas.) at 1 GHz
The R&S®SMBB-K31 high output power option provides 28 dBm at 1 GHz and 24 dBm at 6 GHz (measured values) – easy keycode activation. Ultra high output power of 34 dBm at 1 GHz and 31 dBm at 6 GHz with the additional R&S®SMBB-B32 ultra high output power option (measured values).
Maximum output power
Measured output power for the base unit, with the high power option (R&S®SMBB-K31) and with the additional ultra high power option (R&S®SMBB-B32).
The user friendliness of the R&S®SMB100B is evident in many ways
The RF signal generator is simple to operate, supports working with a connected R&S®NRP power sensor and can emulate legacy instruments. In addition one can create its own "user menu".

The R&S®SMB100B provides various ways to output (or input) reference signals. The 1 MHz to 100 MHz variable external reference frequency input (R&S®SMBB-K704 option) allows the R&S®SMB100B to be easily integrated into existing test environments. The received reference frequency can also be output to a separate reference output (for details please refer to the data sheet). Extremely good phase stability between multiple R&S®SMB100B instruments can be achieved with the optional 1 GHz reference frequency input and output (R&S®SMBB-B3 option).
Variable reference frequency inputs/outputs
Refresh your T&M equipment
When individual pieces of equipment become obsolete before the entire ATE system does, regular calibration and repair of obsolete equipment is an expensive, timeconsuming and challenging task. Replacing obsolete test equipment with equivalent state-of-the-art instruments should be straightforward and require minimal hardware and software changes. The R&S®LegacyPro code emulation fulfills these requirements, reducing the workload and eliminating risks.

Emulation of legacy generators from Rohde & Schwarz and other vendors.
An R&S®NRP power sensor can be connected to the R&S®SMB100B
A DUT is rarely connected directly to the generator. There are often cables and other components between the generator and the DUT. This shifts the reference plane from the generator’s RF output to the DUT. An R&S®NRP power sensor can be connected to the R&S®SMB100B to allow extremely precise calibration (tenth of a dB) at this new reference plane.

Compensation of an external frequency response by the R&S®SMB100B with a connected R&S®NRP power sensor
DUTs are often connected to the signal generator via long cables or other frequency-dependent components. It is therefore very important to compensate the frequency response. The R&S®SMB100B provides a user correction (UCOR) function for this purpose. Together with R&S®NRP power sensor the UCOR values are automatically determined by a push of a button. With UCOR, a frequency response compensated RF signal is available at the new reference plane.
