Test Equipment Description

Rohde & Schwarz SMA100A-B106L Description:

The R&S SMA 100A combines superior signal quality with very high setting speed, which makes it ideal for any task. Whether in development, production, service or maintenance, the R&S SMA 100A does an excellent job. In the frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz, it can generate CW signals as well as all common types of analog modulation (AM, FM, φM, pulse modulation). Excellent specifications and a wide range of modulation signals – these are the characteristic features of the R&S SMA 100A. In addition, a low-jitter clock synthesizer option supplies differential clock signals of up to 1.5 GHz independently of the RF frequency.

  • Very low SSB phase noise of typ. –135 dBc
  • Wideband noise of typ. –160 dBc
  • Nonharmonics of typ. –100 dBc
  • Very short frequency and level setting times of <3 ms across the entire frequency and level range
  • Fast hopping mode with flexibly addressable frequency and level pairs, as fast as normal list mode
  • Frequency setting time of typ. <10 μs within a bandwidth of 40 MHz due to direct access to the DDS-based synthesizer (with the R&S SMA-B20 or -B22 option)
  • Very high level accuracy and repeatability
  • Electronic attenuator with built-in overvoltage protection over entire frequency range
  • Pulse modulator with excellent characteristics (on/off ratio >80 dB, rise/fall time typ. 10 ns)
  • Pulse generator integrated as standard
  • Built-in LF generator up to 1 MHz, optional multifunction generator (R&S SMA-K24) up to 10 MHz
  • Optional low-jitter clock synthesizer up to 1.5 GHz (R&S SMA-B29)
  • Intuitive user interface with graphical display of signal flow (block diagram)
  • Remote control via GPIB or LAN
  • USB connectors (e.g. for keyboard, mouse, memory stick)
  • Selectable SCPI- or 8662A/63A-compatible IEC/IEEE bus command set
  • Control via remote operation tool (e.g. VNC)

Using the R&S® SMA-B81 rear connector option the connectors can be moved to the rear panel of the instrument.

Excellent signal quality

  • Very low SSB phase noise of typ. –134 dBc (20 kHz carrier offset, f = 1 GHz, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth), typ. –139.5 dBc with the R&S®SMA-B22 enhanced phase noise performance option
  • Wideband noise of –162 dBc (meas.) with carrier offset > 40 MHz, f = 1 GHz, level = 9 dBm, 1 Hz measurement bandwidth
  • Nonharmonics < –96 dBc (carrier offset > 10 kHz, f < 750 MHz, with the R&S®SMA-B22 option)
  • High-stability reference oscillator as standard
  • Very low phase noise at low frequencies due to internal division of the fundamental frequency range (750 MHz to 1500 MHz) down to 6.6 MHz

Ideal for use in production

  • Very short frequency/level setting times of < 1.5 ms/1 ms (meas.) across the entire frequency and level range, < 450 μs in List mode
  • Fast Hopping mode with flexibly addressable frequency and level pairs, as fast as normal List mode
  • Frequency setting time of typ. 10 μs within a bandwidth of up to 80 MHz due to direct access to the DDS-based synthesizer (with the R&S®SMA-B20 or R&S®SMA-B22 option; FM EXTERNAL DIGITAL mode)
  • Very high level accuracy and repeatability
  • High output power of up to +18 dBm, overrange up to +28 dBm
  • Electronic attenuator with built-in overvoltage protection over entire frequency range
  • Minimum space requirements due to compact size (only two height units)

All-purpose instrument

  • Frequency range of 9 kHz to 3 GHz (R&S®SMA‑B103/ R&S®SMA‑B103L) or 6 GHz (R&S®SMA-B106/ R&S®SMA‑B106L)
  • Frequency, level and LF sweeps
  • Phase-continuous frequency setting
  • AM, broadband FM/φM (R&S®SMA-B20 or R&S®SMA-B22), pulse modulation
