Rohde & Schwarz SMC100A Signal Generator
The Rohde & Schwarz SMC100A stands out as a premier signal generator, delivering exceptional signal quality across its expansive frequency range from 9 kHz to 1.1 GHz or 3.2 GHz. With a typical output power exceeding +17 dBm, this instrument is engineered for versatility and flexibility, making it ideal for various testing applications.
Integrated with essential modulation capabilities, including AM, FM, φM, and pulse modulation, the SMC100A is expertly designed to accommodate a wide spectrum of testing needs. Its low SSB phase noise and minimal wideband noise ensure that the generated signals are spectrally pure, crucial for high-precision applications.
With an impressive level accuracy and repeatability, demonstrated by a level error of less than 0.9 dB, users can trust the Rohde & Schwarz SMC100A to deliver reliable measurement results every time. The rapid frequency and level setting features expedite testing sequences, ultimately saving valuable time and resources.
The high output power of the SMC100A not only facilitates effective measurements on devices under test (DUTs) like mixers—which often require elevated local oscillator levels—but also compensates for any signal attenuation introduced by external equipment such as cables, filters, or matching networks.
