Product overview

The R&S®SMM100A is a midrange vector signal generator with excellent RF characteristics across its entire range, 100 kHz to 44 GHz. Internal baseband generation supports up to 2 GHz of RF modulation bandwidth, so it generates wideband digitally modulated signals. It is fully compatible with 5G NR FR1 and FR2 and Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be), and covers radar, GNSS, satellite communications, Bluetooth and other wireless standards. An 8.4 inch touchscreen with a structured block diagram interface keeps operation intuitive, on the development bench and on the production floor alike.

Key features

  • Frequency range from 100 kHz to 44 GHz — one instrument covering sub-6 GHz through millimeter wave
  • Built-in baseband generator with up to 2 GHz of RF modulation bandwidth, for wideband 5G NR FR2 signal simulation
  • Excellent SSB phase noise: < −129 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz, 20 kHz offset (typ. −134 dBc/Hz), and −139 dBc/Hz with the low phase noise option
  • EVM < −45 dB for a 400 MHz 5G NR signal at 28 GHz and < −53 dB for a 320 MHz Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) signal — industry-leading signal quality
  • 8.4 inch touchscreen with a structured block diagram interface and real-time graphical signal monitoring, for a clear, intuitive workflow
  • RF linearization (R&S®SMM-K575) improves EVM by up to 8 dB at high output power, for power amplifier test
  • Meets the 3GPP TS 38.141 5G NR base station conformance test specification, for Release 15, 16 and 17/18
  • ARB memory of up to 2 Gsample for storing long, complex continuous signal sequences

Typical applications

  • 5G NR base station conformance test (FR1, FR3 and FR2 bands, per 3GPP TS 38.141)
  • Signal quality evaluation for Wi-Fi 7/8 (IEEE 802.11be) and Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax)
  • Aerospace, defense and satellite communications (DVB-S2/S2X) signal simulation and verification
  • Radar signal simulation and GNSS/GPS receiver test
  • IoT wireless standards test: Bluetooth, LoRa, IEEE 802.15.4
  • Power amplifier linearization and modulation quality measurement
