R&S®SMW200A Vector Signal Generator
The fine art of signal generation
For all your needs
- Frequency range from 100 kHz to 3 GHz, 6 GHz, 7.5 GHz, 12.75 GHz, 20 GHz, 31.8 GHz, 40 GHz or 44 GHz
- Optional second RF path with 100 kHz up to 3 GHz, 6 GHz, 7.5 GHz or 20 GHz
- Versatile configuration: from single-path vector signal generator to multichannel MIMO receiver tester
- Ideal for MIMO, MSR or LTE-Advanced applications thanks to up to eight signal sources and up to 32 fading channels
- Modular architecture for optimal adaptation to the application at hand
-
- Configuration example 1: A single-path R&S®SMW200A with internal baseband can be used for measurements on components or for fundamental receiver testing
-
- Configuration example 2: A two-path R&S®SMW200A is ideal for receiver and performancetests on base stations. One generator can generate wanted signal plus interferer (in this example, a wanted LTE signal and a 3GPP FDD interferer).
-
- Configuration example 3: A fully equipped R&S®SMW200A with MIMO option covers all key MIMO scenarios, such as 8x2 shown in the screenshot. In this case, the baseband section provides eight signal sources and 16 “logical” faders, i.e. MIMO channels.
