Rohde & Schwarz SMW200A (1412.0000.02)

The R&S SMW200A is the vector signal generator for the most demanding applications. As a result of its flexibility, performance and intuitive operation, it is a perfect tool for generating complex, digitally modulated signals of high quality.

The R&S SMW200A is the ideal generator for digitally modulated signals required for the development of new wideband communications systems, the verification of 4G and 5G base stations or in the aerospace and defense sector.

The I/Q modulation bandwidth of up to 160 MHz with internal baseband satisfies fourth-generation standards (e.g. LTE-Advanced and IEEE 802.11ac), and the R&S SMW200A is designed to meet future requirements. Its modular scalable architecture allows users to optimize the generator to their applications and to upgrade it as required.

A second RF path can be added, as well as a maximum of two baseband and four fading simulator modules – without compromising on signal quality. As a result, the R&S SMW200A can create signal scenarios that previously required multiple instruments or could not be implemented at all. From MIMO up to 8x2 to LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation including fading – never before has an instrument offered such high-class signal generation capability. If more than two RF paths are required, additional R&S SGS100A signal generator modules can be connected. The Rohde and Schwarz SMW200A combines up to two independent signal generators in one cabinet up to 20 GHz. An optional second RF path of 3, 6, or 20 GHz is also available.

The intuitive, touchscreen-based operating concept provides the user with an overview of measurements, no matter how complex, and quickly delivers the desired results.

Note:

* The base unit can only be ordered with an R&S®SMW-B10xx frequency option and an R&S®SMW-B13 or R&S®SMW-B13T or R&S®SMW-B13XT signal routing and baseband main module.
