Benefits and key features
AT A GLANCE
The state-of-the-art R&S®SMBV100B vector signal generator sets new standards in its class. Ultra high output power, fully calibrated wideband signal generation and intuitive touchscreen operation make the R&S®SMBV100B ideal for all kinds of applications.
The R&S®SMBV100B vector signal generator combines superior performance characteristics such as high output power, wide modulation bandwidth and excellent signal quality. With a frequency range from 8 kHz to 6 GHz, the instrument covers all important RF bands for digital wireless communications. The wide RF modulation bandwidth of up to 500 MHz satisfies the challenging requirements of fourth and fifth generation communications standards. In A&D applications, the wide bandwidth allows the generation of complex pulsed signals.
In many test setups, such as for RF component verification, it is important to provide signals at high power levels. The R&S®SMBV100B offers best-in-class signal quality up to very high power levels. No extra amplifier is needed, which simplifies the test setup.
The R&S®SMBV100B has an intuitive touchscreen GUI and is therefore very ergonomic and practical to use. The customizable instrument is also prepared to meet future requirements. Options can be added via software keycodes, making it easy to enhance the instrument with additional functionality, e.g. by extending frequency, bandwidth and output power.Key facts
