R&S®SMU200A Vector Signal Generator

The art of signal generation

Configuration Examples

The modular design of the R&S®SMU200A allows the instrument to be equipped with up to two paths. This allows a multitude of applications to be performed for which several signal generators were previously required.

Note: All examples use R&S®SMU-B10 as baseband generator. Instead, R&S®SMU-B9 or R&S®SMU-B11 could also be used.
