Rohde & Schwarz SMW200A-B10xx Spec Sheet
Content is AI-generated. Verify critical details with manufacturer-provided resources.
What is the frequency coverage of the R&S SMW200A B1044 option?
The R&S SMW200A B1044 option extends the frequency range from 100 kHz to 44 GHz, making it suitable for millimeter-wave applications and high-frequency RF testing. The B1044 uses a mechanical step attenuator for level control across the entire frequency range. This configuration is ideal for testing components, receivers, and systems operating in the Ka-band and lower mmWave frequencies.
What is the frequency switching speed for the B1044 configuration?
The B1044 option achieves frequency setting times of less than 1.5 ms (typically 1.2 ms) to within 1 x 10^-7 accuracy with optimized settings. In list mode operation, the switching speed improves further for rapid frequency hopping scenarios. The synthesis resolution is 0.053 nHz nominal at 1 GHz, providing extremely fine frequency granularity for precision measurements.
Can the SMW200A B1044 generate wideband modulated signals at 44 GHz?
Yes, when equipped with the wideband baseband option (B13XT and B9), the SMW200A B1044 can generate signals with up to 2 GHz I/Q modulation bandwidth at carrier frequencies up to 44 GHz. This capability is particularly important for 5G NR millimeter-wave testing, wideband radar applications, and advanced satellite communications. The modulation frequency response remains better than 0.4 dB measured over the entire 2 GHz bandwidth.
What phase noise performance can I expect with the B1044?
The B1044 configuration maintains excellent spectral purity across its frequency range. At 1 GHz with 10 kHz offset, typical SSB phase noise is negative 150 dBc in standard performance mode. For enhanced performance, low phase noise options (B709, B710, B711) can be added. These options improve both close-in and far-out phase noise characteristics, making the instrument suitable for sensitive receiver and component testing at millimeter-wave frequencies.
Is a second RF path compatible with the B1044 configuration?
When the RF path A is equipped with B1044, only the B2003 (3 GHz) option can be installed in RF path B according to the valid path combination matrix. This asymmetric dual-path configuration is useful for specific test scenarios where a high-frequency path up to 44 GHz is needed alongside a lower frequency path. The B13T or B13XT baseband main module is required for dual-path operation.
What digital modulation standards does the B1044 support at millimeter-wave?
The SMW200A B1044 supports all major digital standards including 5G New Radio, which is particularly relevant for FR2 millimeter-wave bands. It also generates LTE, WLAN IEEE 802.11ad/ax, and custom digital modulation formats. The internal baseband with realtime coding enables direct signal generation without external PC software. For 5G NR, the instrument supports carrier frequencies in FR2 (24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz) with appropriate channel bandwidths.
What pulse modulation capabilities are available for radar testing?
The B1044 supports high-end pulse modulation with on/off ratios greater than 80 dB and rise/fall times less than 10 ns. Combined with the optional pulse generator (K23) and pulse sequencer software, it can create sophisticated radar signal scenarios including pulse trains, chirped pulses, and multi-emitter simulations. The 2 GHz wideband baseband option enables wide linear frequency modulation sweeps and complex intrapulse modulations at frequencies up to 44 GHz.
Does the B1044 support envelope tracking for PA testing?
Yes, the SMW200A with B1044 supports envelope tracking (K540 option) and AM/AM predistortion (K541 option) for power amplifier testing at millimeter-wave frequencies. The envelope signal is generated in real time and output via analog I/Q outputs with precise synchronization to the RF signal. Delay adjustment with 1 ps resolution compensates for different path delays, making it an excellent solution for ET-enabled PA characterization and optimization at frequencies up to 44 GHz.
