The Rohde & Schwarz R&S® SMBV100B SMBVB-B103 is a high-performance vector signal generator that sets new standards in its class. Here is an overview:
The frequency range of the SMBVB-B103 is from 8 kHz to 3 GHz, covering a wide variety of application scenarios, from low-frequency to relatively high-frequency signal generation.
It features ultra-high output power, reaching up to +34 dBm. This high-power output capability makes it suitable for testing receivers with high-sensitivity requirements and signal transmission in complex electromagnetic environments.
It supports signal generation for all major digital communication standards, including 5G NR, LTE, and WLAN. Equipped with an internal baseband generator, the RF bandwidth can reach up to 160 MHz.
The instrument delivers very low single-sideband (SSB) phase noise. For example, at 1 GHz and a 20 kHz offset, the measured SSB phase noise is less than -134 dBc. Phase noise can be further reduced using optional high-performance OCXO modules.
Equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen, it provides users with an intuitive, convenient operation layout to easily set parameters and generate required signals.
The R&S® SMBV100B can turn into a reliable GNSS simulator, supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, and QZSS/SBAS to run complex, repeatable scenarios under controlled conditions.
