Features & benefits

Vector signal generator up to 67 GHz

The R&SeSIW200A covers the frequency range up to 67 GHz as a single-path instrument and up to 44GHz

as a dual-path instrument. lt can also be equipped with a maximum of two internal basebandmodules and 

four fading simulator modules. This concept yields two full-featured vector signalgenerators in a single unit, enabling easy generation of complex signal scenarios.

0utstanding phase-noise performance

The standard high-end synthesizer in the R&SeSMW200A provides exceptional SSB phase-noise andnonharmonic performance. Several low phase-noise options are available to further improveperformance.The R&SeSMW-B711/B721 ultra-low phase-noise options enable best-in-class phase-noiseperformance.The R&SeSMW200A is perfect for measurements that demand spectral purity.

2 GHz bandwidth with excellent modulation characteristics

The wideband l/0 modulator with up to 2 GHz RF bandwidth covers all applications in its frequencyrange, including wireless communications, satellite communications and radar. The internal basebandcan generate signals with a maximum 2 GHz RF modulation bandwidth.State-of-the-art D/A converters and excellent RF chain desian ensure exceptional modulation freauencyresponse of <0.4 dB over 2 GHz bandwidth with excellent EV performance. The R&SeSMW200Agenerates 5G NR signals (100 Hz channel bandwidth, 64QAM, 3.4 GHz carrier frequency) with anEVM of 0.1% (meas.), or WLAN IEEE802.11be signals (320 MHz, 7 GHz carrier frequency) with an EVMof -53 dB (meas.).

MlMO and integrated fading on board

The R&SeSMW200A offers integrated channel emulation for up to 800 MHz of fading bandwidthFading profiles for all major standards are available as presets. With up to 64 fading channels, all kevMlMO fading scenarios such as 2x2,3x3, 4x4,8x4,4x8 and 8x8 can be configured in a singleinstrument. Aggregation of up to eight carriers is also supported and SGT100A signal generatormodules can be connected to provide up to eight RF paths.

Unique usability features

The built-in R&SeSMW200A graphics function displays generated signals in real time. The user canselect the type of display, e.g. l/Q vs. time, frequency spectrum, vector diagram or CCDF TheR&SeSMW200A also offers a SCPl macro recorder with code generator, which records all manualoperating steps to generate a file with a remote command sequence. Integrated code templates areprovided for directly generating executable code for MATLAB®, CVl or Python.
