Product overview
The R&S®FE110ST extends the frequency range of the R&S®SMW200A, R&S®SMM100A and R&S®SFI100A vector signal generators to 70 GHz to 110 GHz, the W band. Connected over LAN, the frontend is fully integrated into the base unit firmware as one calibrated solution, so the pair operates as a single instrument. Excellent modulation quality holds up over a wide dynamic range, which is what next-generation automotive radar design verification and mobile communications (5G/6G) development test need.
Key features
- Fully calibrated solution: the frontend transfers its calibration data to the base unit over LAN automatically, factory calibrated and ready to use
- Seamless operation: fully embedded in the SMW200A/SMM100A/SFI100A firmware, with the same user interface as the base unit, so the pair behaves as one instrument
- Excellent modulation quality: a 5G NR signal with 2 GHz channel bandwidth and QPSK modulation reaches an EVM better than −39 dB (at 88 GHz), and holds it over a wide dynamic range
- Compact form factor: minimal RF cable loss in a small housing, for benchtop or rack use
- Smart accessories: nine bandpass filters (70 – 115 GHz), waveguide adapters, standard gain horn antennas and variable attenuators cover a wide range of measurement setups
- Next-generation radar and communications test: supports W band automotive radar around 77 GHz and 5G/6G system verification, so next-generation design can start today
- Height adjustment accessory: the R&S®ZZA-FE01 frontend height adjustment kit aligns the frontend precisely with the DUT for OTA and OWA measurements
Typical applications
- Automotive radar design and verification (77 GHz W band millimeterwave radar)

- 6G system research and MIMO measurements (up to 110 GHz)
- Amplifier noise figure and gain measurements (75 – 110 GHz)
- Satellite communications and aerospace and defense millimeterwave component test
- Sub-terahertz material characterization and imaging research
