R&S®SMATE200A Vector Signal Generator

The production solution based on the R&S® SMU200A

Features

Designed for production

Designed for speed, the R&S® SMATE200A is ideal for production lines where time is critical. In remote control operation via the IEC/IEEE bus, setting times are <2 ms and even faster in List mode (<400 μs) where predetermined changes in frequency and level outputs may be specified in advance. New with the R&S® SMATE200A, the Fast Hop mode improves List mode capability by allowing users to arbitrarily address up to 10 000 frequency/level pairs in any sequence via a serial bus, maximizing flexibility for test engineers. To further reduce test times, special hardware triggers are also added, allowing control of frequently used functions, including RF ON/OFF and MODULATION ON/OFF. All of these enhancements are designed to reduce the total cost of ownership in production environments.
