SMCV100B vector signal generator, 4 kHz up to 7,125 GHz

R&S SMCV100B vector signal generator, key facts.

• Multi-standard platform for broadcast, navigation, cellular and wireless applications
• Full software option defined vector signal generator with 5″ touchscreen
• Modern RF signal generation concept from 4 kHz up to 7,125 GHz
• High output power up to +25 dBm
• Modulation bandwidth up to 240 MHz

The SMCV100B vector signal generator is the first multistandard platform for automotive, broadcast, navigation and wireless applications. This makes it unique for use in many applications, from the lab to production and wherever different technologies meet. The 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.

Available models:

• SMCVB-B103: 4 kHz to 3 GHz
• SMCVB-KB106: 4 kHz to 6 GHz (B103 required)
• SMCVB-KB107: 4 kHz to 7,125 GHz (B103 and KB106 required)

The 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 customisable 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.
