SMBV100A Vector Signal Generators


Generating your signals for today and tomorrow

The R&S®SMBV100A offers excellent RF performance along with very high output level and short setting times. At the same time, the R&S®SMBV100A can be equipped with an internal baseband generator to allow generation of a number of digital standards (e.g. WiMAX, HSPA+, LTE). The wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz covers all of the important bands for digital modulation.
  • Internal signal generation for all important radio standards
    … simplifies testing in many applications
  • Highest output power up to 6 GHz as standard
    … eliminates the need for external amplifiers
  • Largest modulation bandwidth in its class
    … ensures high flexibility and future-proofness
  • On-site servicing as a convenient alternative
    … ensures low cost of ownership and maximum instrument availability
