What frequency range does the R&S SMBV100B-B106 vector signal generator cover?
The Rohde & Schwarz SMBV100B with the B103 base option and KB106 extension covers 8 kHz to 6 GHz in CW mode and 1 MHz to 6 GHz in I/Q modulation mode. The instrument provides 0.001 Hz frequency setting resolution with synthesis resolution of 0.163 microhertz nominal at 1 GHz. Frequency settling time is under 1.2 ms after IEC/IEEE bus delimiter with GUI update stopped, enabling rapid frequency hopping in automated test applications across the entire 6 GHz range.
What modulation bandwidth does the SMBV100B-B106 support?
The SMBV100B-B106 delivers exceptional RF modulation bandwidth up to 500 MHz with perfect accuracy. The modulation frequency response is less than 0.3 dB measured across the full 500 MHz bandwidth, ensuring accurate reproduction of wideband signals. This wide bandwidth makes the instrument ideal for testing 5G NR, Wi-Fi 6/6E, and other advanced communications standards requiring high data rates. The baseband architecture maintains excellent I/Q modulation performance including low EVM and ACPR even at maximum bandwidth and high power levels.
What output power levels can the SMBV100B-B106 achieve?
The SMBV100B-B106 offers flexible output power configurations. The standard version provides level settings from -145 dBm to +20 dBm across 1 MHz to 6 GHz with specified range from -127 dBm to +18 dBm for frequencies above 10 MHz. With the R&S SMBVB-K31 high power option, output extends to +30 dBm, and the R&S SMBVB-B32 ultra high power option reaches up to +36 dBm from 1 MHz to 6 GHz. This eliminates the need for external amplifiers in many test setups while maintaining excellent signal quality.
What I/Q modulation quality does the SMBV100B-B106 provide?
The SMBV100B-B106 delivers superior I/Q modulation performance with excellent error vector magnitude and adjacent channel power ratio characteristics up to very high power levels. The internal baseband generator supports arbitrary waveform generation with realtime operation capability via the R&S SMBVB-K520 custom digital modulation option. I/Q impairments are minimized through calibrated wideband signal generation, and the optional R&S SMBVB-K544 user-defined frequency response correction enables compensation for external test fixtures, ensuring the highest signal fidelity throughout the test setup.
Does the SMBV100B-B106 support digital communications standards?
Yes, the SMBV100B-B106 includes comprehensive support for major digital communications standards through optional firmware applications. The R&S SMBVB-K55 option provides EUTRA/LTE signal generation, R&S SMBVB-K144 adds 5G NR capability, and R&S SMBVB-K86 enables IEEE 802.11ac WLAN signals. The R&S SMBVB-K42 option supports 3GPP FDD standards. Signals are generated internally in realtime, eliminating the need for external waveform files and enabling dynamic parameter changes during operation for fading simulation and other advanced test scenarios.
What reference frequency options are available for the SMBV100B-B106?
The SMBV100B-B106 features a versatile reference system with standard internal reference having frequency error less than 1 x 10^-7 at calibration. The R&S SMBVB-B1 high-precision reference option improves this to less than 1 x 10^-8 with aging of 1 x 10^-7 per year, while the R&S SMBVB-B1H ultra-precision option achieves 3 x 10^-8 per year aging and ±1 x 10^-8 temperature stability. External reference modes include 10 MHz standard, 100 MHz and 1 GHz with the R&S SMBVB-B3 option, and variable 1 MHz to 100 MHz with the R&S SMBVB-K704 flexible reference option.
What baseband processing features does the SMBV100B-B106 offer?
The SMBV100B-B106 includes advanced baseband enhancement options for sophisticated signal generation. The R&S SMBVB-K62 option adds additive white Gaussian noise for receiver sensitivity testing. Bit error rate and block error rate measurements are available with the R&S SMBVB-K80 option. The R&S SMBVB-K540 envelope tracking option enables testing of modern high-efficiency power amplifiers, while the R&S SMBVB-K541 AM/AM and AM/phiM predistortion option compensates for amplifier nonlinearities. Crest factor reduction via R&S SMBVB-K548 optimizes signal statistics for improved power efficiency.
How does the SMBV100B-B106 interface with test systems?
The SMBV100B-B106 provides comprehensive remote control interfaces including LAN, USB, and GPIB for integration into automated test systems. The intuitive 7-inch touchscreen GUI can be operated locally or remotely, and includes SCPI command recording to simplify test program development. The instrument supports R&S LegacyPro emulation mode to replace legacy signal generators from Rohde & Schwarz and other vendors without modifying existing test software. Context-sensitive help and comprehensive documentation accelerate setup and troubleshooting in both manual and automated test environments.
