Microwave Signal Generator R&S SMR
Network analysis systems are indis-pensable measurement tools in research, development, production and service. Conventional scalar network analyzers with simple broad-band diode sensors were predominant in the past, but have now been largely displaced by vector systems with selective receivers. Scalar network analyzers are used in great number only in the high-frequency microwave
range starting at 20 GHz, where they are a cost-effective alternative. The broadband characteristics of the diode sensors, however, place high demands on the harmonic, subharmonic and spurious suppression of the signal generators used so that measurement errors are kept to a minimum. This is
where the qualities of the R&S SMR really shine (FIG 1).
