Very Low Harmonics

Outstanding Leading Performance

The SMA100B RF and Microwave Signal Generator delivers outstanding performance. It provides a pure output signal while maintaining the highest output power and lowest harmonics, superior to similar products. As a globally leading signal generator, it can perform rigorous module and system testing and measurement tasks in the fields of RF semiconductors, wireless communications, aerospace, and defense.

Superior Signal Ensures Superior Equipment

The SMA100B offers uniquely superior performance.

It provides a pure output signal while maintaining high output power and low harmonics.

Frequency range from 8kHz to 67 GHz (up to 72 GHz in over-range mode)

Extremely low SSB phase noise, -132 dBc at 10 GHz, 10 kHz offset (typical) Virtually no wideband noise, -162 dBc at 10 GHz, 30 MHz offset (measured) Maximum output power over a wide frequency range exceeds 30 dBm

Low harmonics

Advanced graphical user interface with touch display

Exceptionally High Output Power

Large dynamic range, excellent level accuracy, superior level repeatability

Microwave frequency ranges often require high output power because higher frequencies result in greater attenuation. The SMA100B provides different output power levels to compensate for such losses. Therefore, there is no need for downstream external amplifiers. Output power is very high (measured)

High output power up to 38 dBm when using a 6GHz instrument

Over 30 dBm at 18 GHz and over 28 dBm at 20 GHz when using a 20 GHz instrument

Over 30 dBm in the range of 20 GHz to 36 GHz when using a 40 GHz instrument

Over 22 dBm in the range of 40 GHz to 65 GHz when using a 67 GHz instrument

LegacyPro: Upgrade Technology

Refurbishing older signal generators

LegacyPro enables the SMA100B to reliably simulate traditional generators from Keysight, Agilent, HP, Anritsu, and Rohde & Schwarz, among others. Therefore, the SMA100B can be deployed in traditional systems without significant software changes, effectively extending uptime, reducing ownership costs, and prolonging the service life of test systems.

High-End ADC and DAC Component Testing

Measuring the true performance of equipment

Each new generation of ADCs brings increased analog input bandwidth and required clock frequencies. Effective bit increases also lead to higher signal-to-noise ratios. This means that testing ADCs and DACs requires ultra-pure high-frequency signals that exceed the performance of the device under test. The SMA100B's excellent performance can optimize the device under test and make technological improvements feasible first.

NRP Power Probe Connectivity

NRP power probes can be connected to the SMA100B;

The device under test is rarely connected directly to the generator. The generator and the device under test are usually interconnected via cables and other components. Therefore, the reference plane shifts from the generator's RF output to the device under test. NRP power probes can be connected to the SMB100B for accurate calibration at the new reference plane (accuracy up to 0.1dB).
