Direct RF DAC Technology: A novel direct RF DAC concept for RF signal production is included in the R&S® SMCV100B vector signal generator. I/Q modulation and upconversion are made possible by this idea in the digital realm, which removes the disparity between I and Q LO leakage and faults related to conventional analog systems.
The R&S® SMCV100B options concept is entirely specified by software. To achieve complete instrument capability, no hardware alternatives are needed. Enhancing the RF frequency, memory, I/Q modulation bandwidth, and all other R&S® SMCV100B features for additional applications is possible with this software idea.
The instrument is prepared to fulfill future needs because of its adaptable and scalable architecture. Software keycodes make it simple to add options, enabling customers to swiftly update features and add output power, bandwidth, and even frequency range.

The R&S® SMCV100B features a unique digital direct RF DAC concept for RF signal generation. This architecture processes I/Q modulation and upconversion entirely in the digital domain, eliminating conventional analog errors and asymmetry in I and Q LO leakage.
Yes, the capabilities of the R&S® SMCV100B are entirely software-defined. You do not need hardware replacements to enhance features like the operating frequency range, internal memory, or I/Q modulation bandwidth; these can be unlocked instantly using software keycodes.
The standard configuration option starts at 4 kHz to 3 GHz (R&S® SMCVB-B103). It can be extended via software keycodes to 6 GHz (R&S® SMCVBKB106) or up to 7.125 GHz (R&S® SMCVBKB107).
The device dimensions are 222 mm × 97 mm × 366 mm (8.74 in × 3.82 in × 14.41 in), occupying a half-19" width and 2 rack units (2 HU). The unit weighs approximately 4.7 kg (10.36 lb).
The manufacturer recommended calibration interval is 3 years to ensure optimal accuracy under standard operational settings.
The operating temperature range is +5 °C to +45 °C, with a storage range of -25 °C to +70 °C. The unit has an IP20 degree of protection compliance in accordance with EN 60529.
