The R&S SMBV100A offers excellent RF performance along with very high output level and short setting times. The SMBV100A can be equipped with an internal baseband generator to allow generation of a number of digital standards (e.g. WiMAX, HSPA+, LTE). The wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz covers all of the important bands for digital modulation.

Due to its optimal scalability, the R&S SMBV100A is easy to customize to meet specific customer requirements. For production applications, a cost-effective solution for playing back predefined test sequences is available with the optional baseband arbitrary waveform generator. And where it really matters, the optional baseband coder provides impressive realtime capabilities. It allows the generation of even complex signals directly in the instrument – no external signal generation software is required.

Baseband coder with realtime capabilities for direct signal generation

The powerful baseband generator (SMBV-B10) includes an integrated arbitrary waveform generator as well as a baseband coder that allows signal generation directly in the instrument. Besides realtime generation of signals for user-configurable digital modulation, a multitude of digital standards such as HSPA+, LTE, WLAN and WiMAX are also supported (optional). All signal parameters are configured directly on the instrument. Even complex signals can be generated with only a few keystrokes. Multicarrier test scenarios can also be defined on the instrument itself no matter whether working with different or the same digital standards. Multicarrier power amplifier (MCPA) tests and interoperability tests are very easy to perform.
