Excellent signal quality
❙Very low SSB phase noise of typ. –134 dBc
(20 kHz carrier offset, f = 1 GHz, 1 Hz measurement
bandwidth), typ. –139.5 dBc with the R&S®SMA-B22
enhanced phase noise performance option
❙Wideband noise of –162 dBc (meas.) with carrier offset
> 40 MHz, f = 1 GHz, level = 9 dBm, 1 Hz measurement
bandwidth
❙Nonharmonics < –96 dBc (carrier offset > 10 kHz,
f < 750 MHz, with the R&S®SMA-B22 option)
❙High-stability reference oscillator as standard
❙Very low phase noise at low frequencies due to internal
division of the fundamental frequency range (750 MHz to
1500 MHz) down to 6.6 MHz
▷ page 4
Ideal for use in production
❙Very short frequency/level setting times of
< 1.5 ms/1 ms (meas.) across the entire frequency and
level range, < 450 µs in List mode
❙Fast Hopping mode with flexibly addressable frequency
and level pairs, as fast as normal List mode
❙Frequency setting time of typ. 10 µs within a bandwidth
of up to 80 MHz due to direct access to the DDS-based
synthesizer (with the R&S®SMA-B20 or R&S®SMA-B22
option; FM EXTERNAL DIGITAL mode)
❙Very high level accuracy and repeatability
❙High output power of up to +18 dBm, overrange up to
+28 dBm
❙Electronic attenuator with built-in overvoltage protection
over entire frequency range
❙Minimum space requirements due to compact size
(only two height units)
