R&S^®SMU200A Vector Signal Generator

LXI Class C conformant

Digital Standard EUTRA/LTE available

The R&S^®SMU200A has been designed to meet all requirements encountered in research and development of modern communication systems as well as in their production. The R&S^®SMU200A Vector Signal Generator not only combines up to two independent signal generators in one cabinet of only four height units, it also offers unrivalled RF and baseband characteristics.

Two signal generators in one

• Frequency options from 100 kHz to 2.2/3/4/6 GHz for the first RF path
• Optional second RF path up to 2.2 GHz or 3 GHz
• Up to two complete baseband paths
• Lossless combination of baseband signals in the digital domain (e.g. for testing multistandard base stations)

Outstanding signal quality

• I/Q modulator with 200 MHz RF bandwidth
• Very low SSB phase noise of typ. -135 dBc (f = 1 GHz, 20 kHz carrier offset, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth), typ. -139 dBc with the enhanced phase noise performance option
• Wideband noise of typ. -153 dBc (CW, f = 1 GHz, >10 MHz carrier offset, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth)
• Excellent ACLR of typically +70 dB for 3GPP FDD
• Very high level repeatability of 0.05 dB
• High output power up to +19 dBm (PEP), overrange + 26 dBm
• High-stability reference oscillator as standard

Unrivaled flexibility

• 2 x 2 MIMO with realtime fading possible
• Optional fading simulator with up to 40 fading paths
• Support of EUTRA/LTE signal generation
• Support of WiMAX IEEE 802.16-2004/Corr1-2005, 802.16e-2005 and WiBro
• Four code channels in realtime for 3GPP FDD, support of HSDPA and HSUPA
• Support of WLAN 802.11 a, b, g and n
• Change of modulation from slot to slot for GSM/EDGE
• Baseband generator with universal coder for realtime signal generation
• Arbitrary waveform generator with 16 Msamples, 64 Msamples or 128 Msamples
• Arbitrary waveform generator supported by R&S®WinIQSIM2™ and R&S®WinIQSIM™ simulation software

Intuitive operation

• Color display with 800 × 600 pixels (SVGA format)
• Intuitive user interface with graphical display of signal flow (block diagram)
• Graphical display of baseband signals through built-in transient recorder
• Context-sensitive help system

Ideal for production

• Very short frequency and level setting times (<2 ms); only 450 µs in List mode
• Electronic attenuator up to 6 GHz over the full level range
• Flexible high speed measurements with RF List mode and multisegment waveforms
• Minimum space required as two complete generators are accommodated in one instrument of only four height units

Connectivity

• Can be remote-controlled via GPIB and LAN
• USB connectors for keyboard, mouse and memory stick
• User-selectable trigger and marker signals
