Product overview
The R&S®SFI100A wideband IF vector signal generator is built for the most demanding applications: early 6G research, millimeter-wave WLAN and automotive radar test. It offers up to 10 GHz of RF modulation bandwidth and generates fully calibrated wideband RF signals. Paired with the R&S®FE110ST and R&S®FE170ST up-conversion frontend modules, its coverage extends into the sub-terahertz range from 70 GHz to 175 GHz, while its IF output (11 GHz to 21 GHz) serves IF test applications.
Key features
- Up to 10 GHz RF modulation bandwidth for ultra-wideband test
- Seamless integration with the R&S®FE110ST and R&S®FE170ST external frontend modules, covering 70 GHz to 175 GHz
- Full automatic calibration once frontend modules and accessories are connected
- Wideband direct DAC with differential and single-ended analog I/Q outputs
- Outstanding EVM: below -41 dB (< 1%) for 5G NR signals
- Built-in SCPI macro recorder and code generator for straightforward test automation
- Fully software-defined option concept: functions are enabled by key code and expanded as needed
- Dual-mode use: IF test (11-21 GHz) and sub-THz test (70-175 GHz)
Typical applications
- Early 6G communications research and development
- Testing of sub-THz band communications systems
- Millimeter-wave WLAN (IEEE 802.11ad/ay) verification
- Automotive radar system development and verification
- Baseband signal generation and test
