Product overview

The R&S®SGT100A is an RF vector signal generator with an integrated baseband generator, optimized for production lines and automated test. Its RF chain is designed for the fastest frequency and level setting times, while multisegment waveform mode on the baseband side lets the user switch between test signals almost instantly. Compact as it is, the R&S®SGT100A keeps excellent RF characteristics: outstanding modulation accuracy, frequency response and level linearity. A high output level compensates losses inside the test system, and low power consumption reduces heat dissipation in the rack. Its modular architecture is easy to service and can be upgraded in the field, keeping the total cost of ownership low.

Key features

  • Smallest standalone vector signal generator with a built-in baseband generator
  • Very fast frequency and level setting, maximizing production test throughput
  • High output level, compensating signal losses inside the test system
  • Low power consumption reduces rack heat dissipation, for densely populated systems
  • Excellent modulation accuracy, leaving ample test margin
  • Integrated baseband generator delivers outstanding frequency response
  • Excellent level repeatability and linearity
  • Optional high-performance OCXO reference clock for improved frequency stability
  • Optional analog I/Q output for envelope tracking (ET) applications
  • Waveform switching latency of just 2 µs in multisegment waveform mode
  • I/Q modulation bandwidth up to 240 MHz
  • ARB memory optionally extendable to 1 GSample
  • Supports 5G NR, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other digital communications standards (optional software licences)
  • An ideal extension module for R&S®SMW200A MIMO applications
  • Modular design is easy to service and can be upgraded on the customer's site
  • Fast remote control interfaces for integration into fully automated test systems

Typical applications

  • Production line and automated RF test
  • 5G NR transceiver module test (Release 15–18)
  • Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be) and Bluetooth device verification
  • LTE / cellular IoT baseband and RF conformance test
  • MIMO multi-antenna system test (with the R&S®SMW200A)
  • Envelope tracking (ET) and digital predistortion (DPD) power amplifier test
  • Radar signal simulation (pulse sequences, direction finding)
  • Satellite communications (DVB-S2/S2X) signal generation
  • Navigation signal simulation (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou)
