Product Description
Rohde & Schwarz R&S®
SMA100A Signal Generator
Key features
Excellent signal quality
• Very low SSB phase noise of typ. -134 dBc (20 kHz carrier offset, f = 1 GHz, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth), typ. -141 dBc with
the enhanced phase noise performance option (R&S®
SMA-B22)
• Wideband noise of -162 dBc (meas.) with carrier offset > 40 MHz, f = 1 GHz, level = 9 dBm, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth
• Nonharmonics of < -96 dBc (carrier offset > 10 kHz, f < 750 MHz, with the R&S®
SMA-B22 option)
• High-stability reference oscillator as standard
• Very low phase noise at low frequencies due to internal division of the fundamental frequency range (750 MHz to 1500 MHz) down
to 6.6 MHz
Ideal for use in production
• Very short frequency/level setting times of < 700 µs (meas.) across the entire frequency and level range, < 450 µs in List mode
• Fast Hopping mode with flexibly addressable frequency and level pairs, as fast as normal List mode
• Frequency setting time of typ. < 10 µs within a bandwidth of up to 80 MHz due to direct access to the DDS-based synthesizer
(with the R&S®
SMA-B20 or -B22 option; FM EXTERNAL DIGITAL mode)
• Very high level accuracy and repeatability
• High output power of up to +18 dBm, overrange up to +28 dBm
• Electronic attenuator with built-in overvoltage protection over entire frequency range
• Minimum space requirements due to compact size (only two height units)
Aerospace and defense applications
• Pulse modulator with excellent characteristics (on/off ratio of > 100 dB (meas.) for f < 5.5 GHz, rise/fall time typ. < 7 ns)
• Pulse generator integrated as standard
• Optional high-performance pulse generator with minimum pulse width of 10 ns (R&S®
SMA-K23)
• Optional generation of versatile pulse sequences/pulse trains (R&S®
SMA-K27)
• Optional chirp modulation (R&S®
SMA-B20 or R&S®
SMA-B22)
• Optional VOR/ILS modulation (R&S®
SMA-K25)
• Optional DME modulation/analysis (R&S®
SMA-K26)
• Optional operating altitude up to 4600 m (R&S®
SMA-B46)
• Optional removable mass storage (CompactFlash™ card, R&S®
SMA-B80)
All-purpose instrument
• Frequency range of 9 kHz to 3 GHz (R&S®
SMA-B103/R&S®
SMA-B103L) or 6 GHz (R&S®
SMA-B106/R&S®
SMA-B106L)
• Frequency, level and LF sweeps
• Phase-continuous frequency setting
• AM, broadband FM/φM (R&S®
SMA-B20 or R&S®
SMA-B22), pulse modulation
• Built-in LF generator up to 1 MHz, optional multifunction generator (R&S®
SMA-K24) up to 10 MHz
• Optional low-jitter clock synthesizer up to 1.5 GHz (R&S®
SMA-B29)
• Power measurement using R&S®
NRP-Zxx power sensors
• Optional power analysis (R&S®
SMA-K28) using R&S®
NRP-Zxx power sensors for scalar network analysis or automatic pulse
parameter measurement
Intuitive operating concept and versatile interfaces
• Color display with 480 × 272 pixels
• Intuitive user interface with graphical display of signal flow (block diagram)
• Context-sensitive online help
• Remote control via GPIB, LAN or USB
• Selectable control language (SCPI or remote control emulation of various signal generators)
• Remote operation by browser (or VNC client)
• USB connectors (e.g. for keyboard, mouse, memory stick)
• Support of R&S®
NRP-Zxx power sensors for precise power measurements
