Exceptionally low harmonics

State-of-the-art GUl with touch display

Very high uncompromising output power

Large dynamic range, excellent level accuracy and level repeatability。

Very high output power is often reguired in the microwave frequency range because the higher thefrequency, the more attenuation.The R&SeSMA100B offers different output power stages tocompensate for such losses. As a result, no downstream external amplifier is required. Exceptionallyhigh output powerlevels(measured values)。

IOver 30 dBm at 18 GHz and 28 dBm at 20 GHz with the 20 GHz instrument

Over 30 dBm between 20 GHz and 36 GHz with the 40 GHz instrument

IOver 22 dBm between 40 GHz and 65 GHz with the 67 GHz instrument

UCOR (user correction)

Compensation of an external frequencyresponse

DUTs are often connected to the signal generator via long cables or other frequency dependentcomponents, making it very important to compensate for frequency response. The R&S@SMA100Borovides a user correction (UCOR) function for this purpose. Together with an R&SeNRP power sensor.the UCOR values are automatically determined at the push of a button. A frequency responsecompensated RF signal is available at the new reference plane for UCOR.

Closed loop power control (CLPC)

Dynamic compensation of external frequency responses and drifts by the R&SeSMA100Bwith a connected R&SeNRP power sensor。

The dynamic closed loop power control is a standard feature of the R&SeSMA100B. When combinedwith an R&SNRP power sensor, the dynamic closed loop power control ensures highly accurate andstable input power to the DUT over time, regardless of unexpected signal chain losses or gains,unwanted power drifts in the setup or target level changes. The 1GP141 application note describes ingreat detail the closed loop power control function, the possible signals,suitable signal generator.R&SeNRP power sensors and what needs to be taken into account. Please read the application notebefore using the closed loop power control for the first time to avoid a possible damage to the DUT。

Uninterrupted level sweep with high dynamic range

When measuring gain transfer functions or output saturation points in amplifiers with an integratedautomatic level control (ALC), the sianal generator must provide a wide uninterrupted level sweeprange.The R&SeSMA100B with the R&SSMAB-K724 option provides the following.

Blank-free (uninterrupted) level sweep with exceptionally high dynamic range

High level linearity across the entire level sweep range。

High-end ADC and DAC component testing

Measure the true performance of your device

Analog input bandwidth and required clock frequency increase with each new ADC generation. Theincrease in the effective number of bits also results in a larger signal-to-noise ratio. This means thatextremely clean, high-frequency signals exceeding the DUT performance are required to test ADCs andDACs, The outstanding R&SeSMA100B performance is perfect for optimizing DUTs and makingimprovements technically feasible in the first place.

R&S®NRP power sensor connectivity

An R&SeNRP power sensor can be connected to the R&SeSMA100B

A DUT is rarely connected directly to the generator. Cables and other components are often betweenthe generator and the DUT. This shifts the reference plane from the generator RF output to the DUT. AnR&.SeNRP power sensor can be connected to the R&SeSMB100B for extremely precise calibration (tenthof a dB) on the new reference plane。

R&S®LegacyPro: refresh your technology

Trade in your legacy signal generators

R&SeLegacyPro enables the R&SeSMA100B to reliably emulate a wide range of legacy generators fromvendors such as Keysight, Agilent, HP Anritsu and Rohde & Schwarz. As a result, the R&SeSMA100Bcan be deployed in legacy systems without major software changes, effectively increasing uptime,lowering cost of ownership and lengthening the useful life of the test svstem.
