Variable reference frequency inputs/outputs

The R&SeSMB100B can output (or input) various reference signals. The 1 MHz to 100 MHz variableexternal reference frequency input (R&SeSMBB-K704 option) allows the R&SeSMB100B to be easilintegrated into existing test environments. The received reference frequency can also be sent to aseparate reference output (for details see data sheet). Superb phase stability between multipleR&SeSMB100B instruments is possible with the 1 GHz reference frequency input and output option(R&S@SMBB-B3 option).

R&S®LegacyPro;

Refresh your T&M equipment

When individual pieces of equipment become obsolete before the entire ATE svstem, the regularcalibration and repair of obsolete equipment is expensive, time consuming and challenging. Replacingobsolete test equipment with equivalent state-of-the-art instruments should be straightforward andrequire minimal hardware and software changes. R&SeLegacyPro code emulation makes these changeswhile reducing the workload and eliminating risks.

R&S®NRP power sensor connectivity

An R&SeNRP power sensor can be connected to the R&SeSMB100B

A DUT is rarely connected directly to the generator. There are often cables and other componentsbetween the generator and the DUT. This shifts the reference plane from the generator RF output to theDUT. An R&SeNRP power sensor can be connected to the R&SeSMB100B for extremely precisecalibration (tenth of a dB) at this new reference plane.

UCOR (user correction)

Compensation of an external frequency response by the R&SeSMB100B with 

a connectedR&SeNRP power sensor.

DUTs are often connected to the signal generator via long cables or other frequency-dependentcomponents. Compensating for the freauency response is very important. The R&SeSMB100B has auser correction (UCOR) function. Together with the R&S@NRP power sensor, UCOR values can beautomatically determined at the push of a button. A frequency response compensated RF signal isavailable at the new reference plane for UCOR.

Closed loop power control (CLPC)

Dynamic compensation of external frequency responses and drifts by the R&SeSMB100Bwith a connected R&SeNRP power sensor.

The dynamic closed loop power control is a standard feature of the R&SeSMB100B, in combination withan R&SeNRP power sensor, the dynamic closed loop power ensures highly accurate and stable inputpower over time to the DUT regardless of unexpected signal chain losses or gains, unwanted powerdrifts in the setup or target level changes. The 1GP141 application note describes in great detail theclosed loop power control function, the possible signals,suitable signal generator, R&SNRP poweisensors and what needs to be taken into account. Please read the application note before using theclosed loop power control for the first time to avoid a possible damage to the DUT
