SMA100A - Rohde & Schwarz Signal Generators

Rohde & Schwarz SMA100A Overview

The R&S SMA 100A combines superior signal quality with very high setting speed, which makes it ideal for any task. Whether in development, production, service or maintenance, the R&S SMA 100A does an excellent job.

In the frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz, it can generate CW signals as well as all common types of analog modulation (AM, FM, φM, pulse modulation). Excellent specifications and a wide range of modulation signals – these are the characteristic features of the R&S SMA 100A. In addition, a low-jitter clock synthesizer option supplies differential clock signals of up to 1.5 GHz independently of the RF frequency.

• Very low SSB phase noise of typ. –135 dBc
• Wideband noise of typ. –160 dBc
• Nonharmonics of typ. –100 dBc
• Very short frequency and level setting times of <3 ms across the entire frequency and level range
• 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 40 MHz due to direct access to the DDS-based synthesizer (with the R&S SMA-B20 or -B22 option)
• Very high level accuracy and repeatability
• Electronic attenuator with built-in overvoltage protection over entire frequency range
• Pulse modulator with excellent characteristics (on/off ratio >80 dB, rise/fall time typ. 10 ns)
• Pulse generator integrated as standard
• 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)
• Intuitive user interface with graphical display of signal flow (block diagram)
• Remote control via GPIB or LAN
• USB connectors (e.g. for keyboard, mouse, memory stick)
• Selectable SCPI- or 8662A/63A-compatible IEC/IEEE bus command set
• Control via remote operation tool (e.g. VNC)
