Key facts

  • Frequency range from 8 kHz to 3 GHz or 6 GHz
  • Ultra high output power up to +33 dBm
  • 1 GHz modulation bandwidth with perfect accuracy
  • Signal generation for all major digital communications standards incl. 5G NR, LTE and WLAN
  • GNSS simulator with GPS, Glonass, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS/SBAS

Ideal for mobile communications, GNSS and other applications

The state-of-the-art R&S®SMBV100B vector signal generator sets standards for its class. Ultra high output power, fully calibrated wideband signal generation and intuitive touchscreen operation make the R&S®SMBV100B ideal for all kinds of applications.

Always in line with the latest major digital communications standards, such as 5G NR, LTE and WLAN, the SMBV100B is the preferred test solution for receiver and component characterization.

Features & benefits

Perfect for signal quality

  • Excellent EVM performance of 0.2% for 20 MHz LTE signals  even at high output power levels.
  • Impressive ACPR values of < –72 dB ACPR (WCDMA test model 1, 64 DPCH, measured)
  • Very low SSB phase noise of < –134 dBc (measured) at 1 GHz and 20 kHz offset.
  • Real-time compensation for test fixture effects.

Wide modulation bandwidth with perfect accuracy

To meet demand for higher modulation bandwidths, the R&S®SMBV100B comes with a high performance baseband. The intelligent internal real-time frequency response correction in the generator enables extremely high amplitude flatness of < 0.3 dB (measured) across the entire bandwidth of 1 GHz.

Perfect for power

Ultra high output power and excellent level accuracy

When equipped with the appropriate options, the R&S®SMBV100B can produce output power of up to +34 dBm (measured at 1 GHz) and the specified level increases to +25 dBm across almost the entire frequency range.
After calibration, the generator must repeatably and precisely set level values for each test sequence. Here, the R&S®SMBV100B delivers top performance with a measured level repeatability of < 0.09 dB.
