14 Rohde & Schwarz R&S ® SMU200A Vector Signal Generator
List mode
Frequency and level values can be stored in a list and set in an extremely short amount of time.
Operating modes
automatic, single sweep, manual or
external trigger, fast hopping with
immediate and external trigger
Max. number of channels 10000
Dwell time 1 ms to 1 s
Resolution 0.1 ms
after external trigger see frequency and level data Setting time
additional trigger delay in two-path units,
both paths operated in list mode < 200 µs
Phase coherence (R&S
®
SMU-B90 option)
The R&S ® SMU-B90 provides phase-coherent RF outputs of two or more RF paths for one or more instruments with I/Q modulation.
The R&S ® SMU-B90 option can be installed in any R&S ® SMU200A with serial number 103001 or higher.
internal This mode corresponds to normal
operation. Each RF path uses its internal
local oscillator.
external An external signal is used for path A. With
a two-path instrument, the internal local
oscillator signal is used for path B.
coupled A –> B The local oscillator signal of path A is also
used for path B (only for two-path
instruments).
Coupling modes
externally coupled A –> B An external signal is input at the LO IN
connector and used for the coupled paths
A and B (only for two-path instruments).
The internal local oscillator signal used
with path A is also available on the LO
OUT connector (in order to couple two
instruments). on LO out state
The LO OUT signal is switched off. off
