Product overview

The R&S®SMW200A vector signal generator is the flagship signal generation platform from Rohde & Schwarz. Its modular design gives unmatched flexibility: it can be configured as a single-path vector signal generator or built out into a multichannel MIMO receiver test system. Single-path coverage reaches 67 GHz and dual-path coverage 44 GHz, with modulation bandwidth up to 2 GHz and a built-in channel simulator supporting up to 800 MHz of fading bandwidth and 8×8 MIMO. Outstanding signal quality (EVM 0.1% for 5G NR; –53 dB for WLAN IEEE 802.11be) makes it a fixture in wireless communications, GNSS simulation, radar, satellite communications and aerospace and defense. A built-in graphical waveform monitor and an SCPI macro recorder, with MATLAB®, CVI and Python code templates, substantially shorten test development.

Key features

  • Wide coverage: up to 67 GHz on a single path and up to 44 GHz in dual-path configuration, for multiband signal generation
  • Outstanding signal quality: EVM of 0.1% for 5G NR signals and –53 dB for WLAN IEEE 802.11be, for precise spectrum and modulation measurements
  • Integrated MIMO and fading simulation: up to 8×8 MIMO, a built-in fading simulator with up to 800 MHz of bandwidth, and predefined fading profiles for the major standards
  • Ultra low phase noise: a high-end synthesizer architecture as standard, with the optional R&S®SMW-B711/B721 ultra low phase noise options for the most demanding measurements
  • Modulation bandwidth up to 2 GHz, through the R&S®SMW-B13XT wideband baseband module and the R&S®SMW-K527 extension, with a modulation frequency response of < 0.4 dB
  • Flexible modular architecture: up to 2 internal baseband modules and several fading simulators, expandable to 8 RF outputs using external SGT100A units
  • Advanced GNSS and radar simulation: GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and QZSS, with full radar pulse sequencing and multi-target simulation
  • Built-in real-time signal monitoring: the graphical interface shows I/Q time domain, spectrum, vector diagram and CCDF, with an SCPI macro recorder and MATLAB®/Python code generators

Typical applications

  • Component and base station test for 5G NR, LTE, WCDMA, GSM and other wireless communications standards
  • Verification of wireless connectivity standards: WLAN (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be), Bluetooth 5.x/6.0, LoRa®, NFC
  • GNSS receiver simulation and test: GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, NavIC
  • Radar signal simulation: pulse sequences, moving targets, multiple emitters and direction finding
  • Satellite communications test: DVB-S2/S2X, DVB-RCS2 and low earth orbit (LEO) signal generation
  • Aerospace and defense: envelope tracking, digital predistortion (DPD) and Doherty amplifier test
