SMW200A vector signal generator, 100 kHz up to 67 GHz, dual path up to 44 GHz

R&S SMW200A vector signal generator, key facts.

• Frequency range up to 67 GHz (dual path: up to 44 GHz)
• 2 GHz modulation bandwidth
• Integrated fading with up to 800 MHz bandwidth and up to 8×8 MIMO
• Excellent signal quality for high accuracy in spectral and modulation measurements
• Advanced GNSS and radar simulator

The R&S SMW200A is the ideal generator for digitally modulated signals required for the development of new wideband communications systems, the verification of 4G and 5G base stations and in the aerospace and defence sector. The I/Q modulation bandwidth of up to 2 GHz with internal baseband satisfies fourth and fifth generation standards (e.g. 5G, LTE-Advanced and IEEE802.11ac/ad), and the SMW200A is designed to meet future requirements. Its scalable modular architecture allows users to optimize the generator to their applications and to upgrade it as required.

Available models:

• SMW-B1003: 100 kHz to 3 GHz
• SMW-B1006: 100 kHz to 6 GHz
• SMW-B1007: 100 kHz to 7,5 GHz
• SMW-B1012: 100 kHz to 12,75 GHz
• SMW-B102:0 100 kHz to 20 GHz
• SMW-B103:1 100 kHz to 31,8 GHz
• SMW-B1040: 100 kHz to 40 GHz
• SMW-B1044: 100 kHz to 44 GHz
• SMW-B1056: 100 kHz to 56 GHz
• SMW-B1067: 100 kHz to 67 GHz
• SMW-B20xx: RF path B, possible frequencies 3 GHz, 6 GHz, 7,5 GHz, 12,75 GHz, 20 GHz, 31,8 GHz and 44 GHz

A second RF path can be added, as well as a maximum of two baseband and four fading simulator modules, without compromising signal quality. As a result, the SMW200A can create signal scenarios that previously required multiple instruments or could not be implemented at all. From up to 8×8 MIMO and LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation including fading to multistandard radio; never before has an instrument offered such outstanding signal generation.
