Rohde & Schwarz SMB100B RF and Microwave Signal Generator
The Rohde & Schwarz SMB100B is an analog signal generator with outstanding spectral purity and very high output power, combined with comprehensive functions and very simple operation characterize. The SMB100B RF signal generator with a size of ¾ 19" width has a frequency range from 8 kHz to 1, 3, or 6 GHz. The SMB100B analog microwave signal generator with 19" width has a frequency range from 8 kHz to 12.75, 20, 31.8, or 40 GHz.
- Frequency range from 8 kHz to 1, 3, 6, 12.75, 20, 31.8 and 40 GHz.
- Outstanding single sideband (SSB) phase noise of <–112 dBc (measured) at 10 GHz and an offset of 20 kHz.
- Very low wideband noise depending on the frequency range, sometimes well below <–145 dBc (measured).
- Highest output power of 34 dBm at 1 GHz, 25 dBm at 20 GHz and 19 dBm at 40 GHz (all is measured).
- Compact form factor of 2HU and ¾ 19" width for the SMB100B RF signal generator (1/3/6 GHz).
19" width for the SMB100B microwave signal generator (12.75/20/31.8/40 GHz).
