Product overview
The R&S®SMBV100B is an advanced vector signal generator for mobile communications, GNSS and a wide range of other test applications — a perfect combination of performance and usability. It offers ultra high output power, wideband modulated signal generation and an intuitive touchscreen interface. It covers all the major digital communications standards, 5G NR, LTE and WLAN included, and its built-in GNSS simulator reproduces the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS/SBAS constellations. Very low EVM (0.2% for a 20 MHz LTE signal) and excellent ACPR make it an ideal tool for receiver characterization, component test and regulatory conformance test.
Key features
- Excellent EVM: just 0.2% for a 20 MHz LTE signal, for high-accuracy vector modulated signal quality
- Ultra high output power: up to +33 dBm, and +25 dBm across almost the entire frequency range, for wide dynamic range testing
- 1 GHz ultra wide modulation bandwidth with precise amplitude flatness (< 0.3 dB), for wideband 5G NR and WLAN signal generation
- Comprehensive GNSS simulator: GPS, modernized GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, NavIC/IRNSS and QZSS/SBAS multi-constellation simulation
- Intuitive 7 inch touchscreen for an operator-friendly interface that speeds up test work
- Real-time frequency response correction keeps signal accuracy across the whole modulation bandwidth, with no external compensation
- Broad standards support: 5G NR (Release 15/16/17/18), LTE, WLAN (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be), Bluetooth, C-V2X, eCall and more
- A rich set of hardware and software options: ARB memory expansion (up to 2 Gsample), wider baseband bandwidth and licences for many communications standards
Typical applications
- Mobile communications test: development verification and regulatory conformance test of 5G NR, LTE, 3G and 2G base stations and terminals
- GNSS receiver test: multi-constellation satellite scenarios for navigation module development and eCall and C-V2X verification
- Component characterization: EVM, ACPR, AM/AM and AM/PM measurements on power amplifiers, mixers and other RF components
- Wireless connectivity test: transmitter test for WLAN (Wi-Fi 7), Bluetooth 5.x/6.0, NFC, UWB, LoRa and other short-range standards
- Avionics and radar test: ILS, VOR, DME and GBAS avionics navigation systems and pulse sequencer radar signal simulation
- Satellite communications (SatCom): DVB-S2/S2X and DVB-RCS2 signal generation for satellite ground station and terminal test
