Rohde & Schwarz SMW200A Creates Digitally Modulated Signals |
|
Rohde & Schwarz has added new microwave frequency options to its R&S SMW200A high end vector signal generator Rohde & Schwarz has added new microwave frequency options to its R&S SMW200A high end vector signal generator to support development applications requiring complex multichannel scenarios up to 40 GHz. The instrument creates signals of the highest quality for radar and satellite applications as well as for future 5G technology development.
Radar and satellite component and module tests The 40 GHz version of the R&S SMW200A enables users to completely cover the K and Ka bands. The generator's integrated baseband offers an RF modulation bandwidth of 160 MHz with excellent I/Q flatness and EVM, making it possible to generate signals of the highest modulation quality in the microwave range. It is even easy to generate CW signals with multiple carriers for component tests and wideband QAM-modulated carriers for satellite receiver tests. Complex signals for 5G test setups The R&S SMW200A is helping developers identify potential technologies for accessing 5G wireless networks. The new frequency options enable the instrument to cover the frequency ranges that are currently the focus of 5G development. Its internal baseband section can handle all important digital communications standard including LTE Releases 8 to 11. The signal bandwidth of the R&S SMW200A can even reach 2 GHz when external I/Q signals are used ? an ideal feature for wideband 5G applications. Modulated, phase-coherent signals up to 40 GHz Beamforming applications are used to measure active antenna systems such as phased arrays. This requires high quality, phase coherent test signals. The LO coupling of the R&S SMW200A now makes it possible to set up a compact system with up to three phase coherent outputs up to 40 GHz. In addition to the R&S SMW200A, the setup employs two combinations of the R&S SGS100A and R&S SGU100A as additional RF paths up to 40 GHz. The additional signal sources can be easily controlled via the R&S SMW200A GUI. Extensive test applications for wireless communications Many wireless communications applications require complex microwave test signals. The R&S SMW200A now also generates high quality digitally modulated signals up to 40 GHz for direct microwave link applications. If, for example, a 12.75 GHz and a 6 GHz RF path are installed in a single instrument, it is fast and easy to carry out the complex conformance tests specified by many telecommunications standards. The instrument's integrated test case wizard enables users to configure even complex WCDMA and LTE test scenarios such as blocking tests at the push of a button. The 12.75 GHz frequency option also offers a wear free electronic attenuator. The new R&S SMW-B112, R&S SMW-B131 and R&S SMW-B140 frequency options are available now.

About RF Cafe
Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Web BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
