The R&S SMA100B RF and microwave signal generator provides pure output signals while maintaining a high output power level. It can handle the most demanding component, module and system T&M tasks in the RF semiconductor, wireless communications and aerospace and defence industries.

The SMA100B is suitable for all applications requiring clean analog signals. For LO substitution in radar applications, the device can generate microwave signals with low close-in SSB phase noise, enabling radar systems to detect even very slow objects. For testing analog-to-digital converters (ADC), the SMA100B produces signals with low wideband noise.

In automated production environments, the generator’s ultrahigh output power eliminates the need for additional amplifiers while keeping harmonics low. The same signal generator can provide a pure clock signal for the ADC. A ­second, independent output can provide clock signals for ADC testing with lowest wideband phase noise.

With the SMA100B, it is no longer necessary to choose between signal purity and high output power. It is said to be the only signal generator that can supply signals with ultrahigh output power in combination with low harmonic signal components. The device covers all fields of application, from research and development to production, service and maintenance.
