Product overview
The R&S®SMCV100B is the industry's first multistandard platform vector signal generator, bringing automotive, broadcast, navigation and wireless communications capability together in one instrument. Its software-defined architecture is exceptionally flexible: communications standards are unlocked through optional software modules, covering 5G NR, LTE, Wi-Fi 6E/7, Bluetooth® 5.x, multi-constellation GNSS simulation and broadcast standards such as DAB, DVB-T2, ATSC 3.0 and DRM. It spans 4 kHz to 7.125 GHz with up to +25 dBm output power and up to 240 MHz modulation bandwidth, and its 5 inch touchscreen suits everything from laboratory development to the production line.
Key features
- Multistandard software-defined architecture: add support for further communications standards through optional software modules, with no hardware change
- Wide frequency coverage: 4 kHz to 7.125 GHz (with the extension options), from low frequencies up into the microwave range
- High output power: up to +25 dBm, for RF chain testing over a wide dynamic range
- Wide modulation bandwidth: up to 240 MHz RF bandwidth, for wideband 5G NR FR1 and Wi-Fi 6/6E signal generation
- Large ARB memory: up to 1 GSample, enough for long sequences or composite multistandard waveforms
- Multi-constellation GNSS simulation: GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and NavIC, expandable to multi-satellite scenarios
- 5 inch touchscreen: an intuitive interface that speeds up test setup
- Low phase noise option (R&S®SMCVB-K709) for measurements that demand high spectral purity
Typical applications
- Automotive electronics test: V2X communications (IEEE 802.11p), in-car navigation (GNSS), infotainment (DAB/FM) and in-car connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) verification
- Broadcast signal simulation: AM/FM/RDS, DAB/T-DMB, DRM, DVB-T/T2, ATSC 3.0, ISDB-T and DTMB signal generation and receiver test
- Mobile communications test: verification and production test of 5G NR (Release 16/17/18), LTE, GSM/EDGE and cellular IoT devices
- Wireless connectivity test: Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be (Wi-Fi 6/6E/7), Bluetooth® EDR/5.x, NFC and LoRa modules and systems
- Satellite communications: DVB-S/S2/S2X and DVB-RCS2 satellite signal simulation and receiver test
- EMC and regulatory test: generation of known interference signals for electromagnetic compatibility verification and for calibrating measuring equipment
