R&S®SMV03 Vector Signal Generator

Vector modulation in the analog class

Characteristics

The allrounder

The Vector Signal Generator R&S® SMV03 is based on the successful analog Signal Generator R&S® SML03 and features the same excellent technical characteristics. It comprises an additional broadband I/Q modulator that is able to generate any digital signal in conjunction with an external I/Q source. The R&S® SMV03 is, therefore, a way of entering the wide field of automatic test systems as well as gaining access to applications such as R&D and service. When used together with the R&S® AMIQ and R&S® WinIQSIM™, the R&S® SMV03 can generate digital signals that meet any requirement.

In combination with the Arbitrary Waveform Generator R&S AMIQ the setup looks like:
