RENT ROHDE & SCHWARZ SMA100B RF and Microwave Signal Generator (Call for Availability)
The Rohde & Schwarz SMA100B RF and Microwave Signal Generator is engineered to deliver the purest output signals while achieving the highest output power levels in its class. This unparalleled performance is essential for a variety of demanding applications such as radar system design and testing.
In radar applications, the SMA100B excels in generating microwave signals characterized by remarkably low close-in SSB phase noise. This capability enables radar systems to detect even the smallest and slowest moving objects with precision. Furthermore, when testing analog-to-digital converters (ADC), this signal generator stands out by producing signals with extremely low wideband noise and can simultaneously generate a high-quality clock signal needed for ADC testing. Notably, the unit's second independent output allows unparalleled testing flexibility, providing clock signals with minimized wideband phase noise.
With the Rohde & Schwarz SMA100B, you no longer have to compromise between signal purity and output power. This signal generator uniquely combines ultra high output power with extremely low harmonic signal components, setting a new benchmark in high-end analog signal generators. Even at elevated output powers, harmonic suppression exceeds 70 dBc across a wide frequency range which is invaluable for precise measurements of amplifier harmonic components.
The SMA100B features a specialized 1 GHz reference output, offering superior phase-locked coupling capabilities for multiple SMA100B units—a significant improvement over traditional 10 MHz references. This 1 GHz output not only enhances coupling but also delivers exceptional signal purity, making it a vital asset in numerous technical settings.
