Highest flexibility in applications and production

The R&S®SMCV100B vector signal generator is the first multi-standard platform for automotive, broadcast, navigation and wireless applications. This makes the R&S®SMCV100B unique for use in many applications, from the lab to production and wherever different technologies meet.

navigation and wireless applications. This makes the R&S®SMCV100B unique for use in many applications, 

from the lab to production and wherever different technologies meet.

The R&S®SMCV100B vector signal generator features a new direct RF DAC concept for RF signal generation. This concept enables I/Q modulation and upconversion in the digital domain, which eliminates the I and Q imbalance errors and LO leakage associated with traditional analog I/Q modulators.

The R&S®SMCV100B options concept is fully software defined. No hardware options are required to obtain full instrument functionality. This software concept applies to upgrading the RF frequency, memory, I/Q modulation bandwidth and all other R&S®SMCV100B options for other applications.

Thanks to its flexible and customizable design, the instrument is ready to meet future requirements. Options can easily be added via software keycodes, allowing  users to quickly upgrade functions and add bandwidth, output power and even frequency range. 

The intuitive, touchscreen based operating concept makes the R&S®SMCV100B very ergonomic and practical to use.

Modern RF signal generation with direct digital RF upconversion concept

The R&S®SMCV100B vector signal generator features a new direct RF DAC concept for RF signal generation. This concept enables I/Q modulation and upconversion in the digital domain which eliminates I and Q imbalance  errors and LO leakage as known from traditional analog I/Q 

modulators. 

The direct RF DAC concept is used up to a frequency of 2.5 GHz. For RF frequencies > 2.5 GHz, an analog mixing concept is used to bring the signal to the desired output 

frequency. 

Powerful internal baseband generator 

The R&S®SMCV100B provides powerful hardware for internal baseband signal generation. The R&S®SMCV100B either generates signals in real time in FPGAs or it uses the ARB generator to directly generate I/Q signals for digital communications standards. The R&S®WinIQSIM2 signal simulation software can also be used to generate I/Q signals.

Real-time signal generation in FPGAs is especially used for broadcast standards. This technological approach enables continuous and very long uninterrupted signal generation with different data content (audio, video, data, PRBS) for decoding. Such long sequences are required for testing the performance or EMC of tuners
