R&S^®SMU200A Vector Signal Generator

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.

The R&S^®SMU200A can be fitted with a wide range of options – for example, options for all of today's important digital standards as well as function and performance enhancements such as MIMO fading or phase coherence. For a list of all available options as well as links to detailed information about the individual options, see "ordering information".

Two signal generators in one

• Frequency options from 100 kHz to 2.2/3/4/6 GHz for the first RF path
