Rohde & Schwarz SMW200A Vector Signal Generator Description
The Rohde & Schwarz SMW200A is the vector signal generator for the most demanding applications. As a result of its flexibility, performance and intuitive operation, it is a perfect tool for generating complex, digitally modulated signals of high quality.
The R&S SMW200A is the ideal generator for digitally modulated signals required for the development of new wideband communications systems, the verification of 3G and 4G base stations or in the aerospace and defence sector.
The I/Q modulation bandwidth of up to 2 GHz with internal baseband satisfies fourth- and fifth-generation standards (e.g. 5G, LTE-Advanced and IEEE 802.11ac/ad), and the R&S SMW200A is designed to meet future requirements. Its modular scalable architecture allows users to optimise the generator to their applications and to upgrade it as required.
A second RF path can be added, as well as a maximum of two baseband and four fading simulator modules – without compromising on signal quality. As a result, the R&S SMW200A can create signal scenarios that previously required multiple instruments or could not be implemented at all. From MIMO up to 8x2 and LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation including fading to multistandard radio – never before has an instrument offered such high-class signal generation capability.
If more than two RF paths are required, additional R&S SGMA signal generator modules can be connected. The intuitive, touchscreen-based operating concept provides the user with an overview of measurements, no matter how complex, and quickly delivers the desired results.
Rohde & Schwarz SMW200A Features
- Versatile configuration: from single-path vector signal generator to multichannel MIMO receiver tester
- Ideal for MIMO, MSR or LTE-Advanced applications thanks to up to eight signal sources and up to 32 fading channels
- Modular architecture for optimal adaptation to the application at hand
- Easy generation of complex signals
- Max. eight baseband generators on two internal baseband modules with realtime coder and ARB
- Internal digital adding of baseband signals, even with frequency and level offset
- Wideband baseband and vector signal generator in one box
- Support of all important digital standards such as 5G New Radio, Verizon 5GTF signals, LTE (up to Release 14), 3GPP FDD/HSPA/HSPA+, WLAN IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/j/p/ac/ad/ax, OneWeb, DVB-S2/DVB-S2X, OFDM signal generation
- No separate PC software required for digital standards
- Generation of radar signal scenarios for module, receiver and DFS tests
- LTE and 3GPP test case wizards for easy base station conformance testing in line with 3GPP TS 25.141 or 3GPP TS 36.141
- Envelope tracking and AM/AM, AM/φM predistortion options for full testing and verification of ET modulator chipsets
