Vector Signal Generator Options: B103 = RF Path A: 100kHz-3GHz; B203 = RF Path B: 100kHz-3GHz

The R&S SMATE200A is a Vector Signal Generator and offers excellent RF performance and baseband flexibility.

Based on the successful R&S SMU200A platform, the R&S SMATE200A is specifically designed for production environments.

As such, the display and front panel user interface have been removed, the connectors moved to the rear, and performance has been optimized for fastest setting times to improve factory throughput. Like the R&S SMU200A, the two-generators-in-one concept has been kept, occupying four height units.

Frequency range: 100 kHz to 3 GHz (path A and B)

Setting time: < 1ms

Setting time in list mode: < 400 µs

Level range: -144 dBm to +13 dBm (PEP) (+16 dBm in overrange)

Level range with high power output option: -144 dBm to +19 dBm (PEP) (+26 dBm in overrange)

Spectral purity (f = 1 GHz):

Nonharmonics:

Carrier offset > 10 kHz: <-80 dBc

Carrier offset > 800 kHz: <-86 dBc

SSB phase noise (20 kHz carrier offset, 1 Hz meas. bandwidth):

Typ. -135 dBc, typ. -140 dBc with option low phase noise

Typ. -153 dBc (CW), typ. -149 dBc (I/Q modulation)

Up to two independent signal generators in one unit

3 GHz or 6 GHz frequency options in one or two paths

Very short setting times for frequency and level (frequency changes < 1 ms over GPIB and < 400 μs in List mode)

Fast Hop mode offering flexibly addressable frequency/level pairs; as fast as normal list mode
