Rohde & Schwarz SMR40 Signal Generator
The R&S SMR40 Signal Generator is a cutting-edge instrument engineered to deliver precise Continuous Wave (CW) generation, enhanced by advanced pulse modulation capabilities. With an impressive frequency range of 1 GHz to 40 GHz, the SMR40 ensures remarkable versatility for various testing and measuring applications. For those requiring lower frequencies, the range can be expanded down to 10 MHz with the optional Frequency Extension (0.01 GHz to 1 GHz, option B11).
What sets the SMR40 apart from conventional signal generators is its superior spectral purity. Thanks to its advanced frequency synthesis utilizing a fractional-N divider, users can expect minimal Single Sideband (SSB) phase noise and substantial spurious suppression. These features are essential for conducting reliable and accurate receiver measurements. Additionally, the integration of modern microwave filters in the output path guarantees excellent harmonic suppression, which is crucial for obtaining precise results in scalar network analysis.
