SM200B - Signal Hound Spectrum Analyzers

Signal Hound SM200B Overview

The Signal Hound SM200B is a 20GHz real-time spectrum analyzer. This spectrum analyzer is where high performance, speed, accuracy, agility and security meet very low cost.

Excellent for 5G protocol component prototyping, verification of in-band and out of-band emissions, radar pulse analysis and more.

The SM200B is a high-performance spectrum analyzer and monitoring receiver. Tuning from 100 kHz to 20GHz, the analyzer has 160 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth (IBW), 110 dB of dynamic range, 1THz/sec sweep speed at 30kHz RBW (using Nuttall windowing), and phase noise performance that is low enough to contribute less than 0.1% error to EVM measurements and rival even the most expensive spectrum analyzers on the market.

The SM200B offers 160 MHz instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) calibrated I/Q capture, available through block transfer of a 2-second I/Q buffer over USB 3.0 to the PC (learn more about this feature).

Signal processing is distributed between a very powerful Altera FPGA and an external PC having an Intel Core i5 processor. The Signal Hound SM200B can be readily interfaced, using its local API, to an automated monitoring system or to automated test equipment. The SM200B API provides customers the access needed to insert their own DSP algorithms into a calibrated stream of I/Q data.

SM200B Features:

• 160 MHz instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) calibrated I/Q capture
• 2-seconds of 160 MHz bandwidth block transfer buffer
• Tunes from 100 kHz to 20 GHz
• Sweeps at 1 THz/sec at 30 kHz RBW
• 110 dB of dynamic range
• Ultra-low phase noise
• GPIO port antenna switching

No Blind Time, No Retrace Time Between Sweeps

The SM200B comes with a signed calibration certificate and a printed packet of calibration data. Signal Hound new SM200B offers 160 MHz instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) calibrated I/Q capture, available through block transfer of a 2-second I/Q buffer over USB 3.0 to the PC. Get 2 seconds of segmented I/Q Capture memory.

Constantly Updated Cutting Edge Software

See with new eyes what was once hidden. Spike software provides the device controls, signal visualization display, and data export tools. Spike offers a variety of analysis modes and provides specific tools for EMC precompliance testing, interference hunting, and digital demodulation, among others.
