4 Rohde & Schwarz R&S ® SMU200A Vector Signal Generator
Introduction
The R&S ® SMU200A vector signal generator has been designed to meet all requirements encountered in the research and
development as well as production of modern communications systems. The R&S ® SMU200A not only combines up to two
independent signal generators in one cabinet of only four height units, but also offers unrivaled RF and baseband characteristics.
Due to its modular design, the R&S ® SMU200A can be optimally adapted to the requirements of different applications. The first RF path
can be equipped with one of the four available frequency options. The upper frequency limit of 2.2 GHz, 3 GHz, 4 GHz or 6 GHz is
user-selectable. In addition, a second RF path can be installed with an upper frequency limit of 2.2 GHz or 3 GHz. The lower
frequency limit of all frequency options is 100 kHz.
Two generators can also be installed in the baseband section. They generate complex signals in realtime and are equipped with an
arbitrary waveform generator with 16 Msample, 64 Msample or 128 Msample memory. The signals generated in the different
basebands can be added, even with frequency offset.
Featuring a dual-path concept and an optional integrated multichannel fading simulator, the R&S ® SMU200A is ideal for tests on MIMO
receivers as 2x2 MIMO systems can be tested using a single instrument. For larger systems up to 2x4 or 4x2 MIMO, two instruments
can be combined.
The modern, intuitive concept of the R&S ® SMU200A ensures fast and easy operation.
