2 ¸SMF100A Microwave Signal Generator

At a glance

Signal quality, speed, and flexibility –
these are decisive properties for a signal
generator in the microwave range.

To meet even the highest of require­ments, the ¸SMF100A microwave
signal generator was completely rede­signed and newly developed. The result
is a first-rate, state-of-the-art microwave
signal generator that sets new standards.
It thus covers the numerous fields of ap­plication encountered in R & D, produc­tion, service, maintenance, and repair.

The ¸SMF100A operates in the
wide frequency range from 100 kHz to

43.5 GHz with specific configurations.
In addition to CW signals, all common
types of analog modulation (AM, FM,
jM, pulse modulation) or combinations
thereof can be generated.

For just one example among many, take
the following application: What can you
do when cable loss at high frequen­cies starts becoming a larger and larger
problem? Subsequent amplifiers repre­sent one solution – or you can simply
use the ¸SMF100A equipped with
the ¸SMF-B32 or ¸SMF-B34
option that supplies a high output power
of typ. +25 dBm at 20 GHz.

The ¸SMF100A signal generator
offers a modern graphical user inter­face for fast and intuitive operation. The
settings – which, for the first time in

a microwave signal generator, can be
controlled via a block diagram – and the
signal flow can be seen at a glance.

Everything in one instrument

The ¸SMF100A base unit with
frequency option included already offers
the essential functions and interfaces.
This basic configuration can be adapted
to meet the requirements of further
applications by adding specific options.

The ¸SMF100A has outstanding
specifications. Additional options for
improving performance are not needed.
This gives you a decisive advantage as
the user. You no longer need to carry out
tedious option configurations in order to
increase performance.

The base unit with frequency options
included consists of the following:

Precise output level

Precise and stable output levels
are essential in a microwave signal
generator. Furthermore, high resolution
is required when calibrating levels in
measuring receivers. Therefore, the
¸SMF100A offers high-precision,
frequency-response-corrected level
control across the entire level range.

Of course, the ¸SMF100A includes
outstanding absolute level accuracy.
But even more important is its level
repeatability, since absolute errors
can be compensated for by means of
the appropriate corrections. Particu­larly in the case of repeatability, the
¸SMF100A sets new standards as
shown in the figure below.

Digital frequency and level sweep

The digital frequency sweep makes
it possible to perform frequency
response measurements of microwave
applications. Start and stop frequencies
as well as step times are user-selectable.
A trigger input enables synchronized op­eration with external equipment.

The level sweep across any level range
makes it possible, for example, to
measure the compression characteristic
of amplifiers or mixers.

¸SMF-B122 frequency option
(1 GHz to 22 GHz)
¸SMF100A base unit plus ◆
¸SMF-B144 frequency option
(1 GHz to 43.5 GHz)

High frequency resolution

To meet the high requirements of many
applications in research and science,
the frequency options offer a frequency
resolution of one-thousandth of a hertz

(0.001 Hz) as standard.
With the optional ¸SMF-B2 fre- ◆
quency extension plus one of the fre­quency options, the frequency range
starts at 100 kHz

This package contains the following as
standard:

Excellent spectral purity

Absolutely no compromises have been
made here. Everything technically fea­sible has been implemented. Both the
SSB phase noise and the outstanding
suppression of harmonics and nonhar­monics earn top grades. This is a must
for anyone working in the area of scalar
network analysis, for example.

step attenuator, the lower level limit is
shifted from –20 dBm without attenuator
down to –130 dBm with attenuator.

High output level

In many microwave test setups, various
equipment such as long cables, power
splitters, directional couplers, or RF
relays cause high loss. One possible
solution here is an expensive exter-

Maximum output power with and without the R&S®SMF-B34 high output power option in the
frequency range 100 kHz to 43.5 GHz (¸SMF-B144 and ¸SMF-B2; with the R&S®SMF-B27
step attenuator option); the lower curve in the frequency range 100 kHz to 1 GHz is with activated
pulse modulator of the R&S®SMF-B2 frequency extension

nal microwave amplifier. But you can

avoid this budget-consuming compo-

nent by using the ¸SMF-B32 or

¸SMF-B34 high output power option

with up to typ. +25 dBm at 20 GHz.

AM, FM, jM, and Log AM including
LF generators and noise generator

The ¸SMF-B20 AM/FM/jM/LOG AM
option complements the ¸SMF100A
microwave signal generator. This expan­sion also includes two LF generators and
a noise generator, making any combina­tion of modulation modes possible. The
table above provides an overview.

Analog ramp sweep mode

The analog ramp sweep mode (provided
by the ¸SMF-K4 option) corresponds
to the analog sweep of classic sweep
generators except that the sweep is fully
synchronized over the complete range.
In this way, the excellent frequency ac­curacy of digital step sweeps is achieved
on the whole, and this at much higher
sweep rates of min. 700 MHz/ms at fre­quencies ≥3 GHz.

frequency range 1 GHz to 22 GHz (¸SMF-B122; in both cases with the R&S®SMF-B26 step

High-end pulse modulation

The ¸SMF100A can additionally be
equipped with the ¸SMF-K3 pulse
modulation option. Even high require­ments are exceeded by an ON/OFF ratio
of >80 dB, a rise/fall time of <10 ns, and
a minimum pulse width of <20 ns.

High-quality pulse generator

In the case of pulsed signals, the
combination of the ¸SMF-K3 pulse

generator for testing. However, the
internal pulse generator can also be
used by itself in external applications via
designated outputs.

One new optional feature of the built­in pulse generator is the alternative to
generate "pulse trains" (¸SMF-K27
option), which are commonly used for ra­dar applications. An example of a pulse
train is shown in the figure on the right.
In contrast to single or double pulses,
"pulse trains" are a combination of dif­ferent pulses, which can be a periodical
or non-periodical set of pulses.

Highly stable output frequency

The integrated reference oscillator
included as standard keeps the output
frequency precise and low in drift. To
meet the highest of requirements in
precision and aging, you can add the
¸SMF-B1 OCXO reference oscillator
option to the ¸SMF100A.

Pulse train: combination of pulses with different pulse widths and pauses

Excellent signal quality

Due to an innovative synthesizer con-

cept, the ¸SMF100A offers excellent

values in terms of SSB phase noise,

wideband noise, and non harmonics sup-

pression. It is the ideal solution for all

measurement applications in which the

very high spectral purity of typ. –120 dBc

(10 GHz; 10 kHz carrier offset; 1 Hz mea-

surement bandwidth) is needed. For ex-

ample, it can be used in communications

systems as an IF or LO substitute for

adjacent channel or phase noise mea-

surements or in low-noise radar as an
ultra-pure signal source.

The ¸SMF100A offers this out­standing signal quality because it
includes an integrated reference
oscillator as standard. You can improve
this quality even further very near the
carrier by adding the ¸SMF-B22
enhanced phase noise option.

6 ¸SMF100A Microwave Signal Generator

Ideal for use in production

In production, high throughput and low
test costs are the benchmarks by which
a state-of-the-art microwave signal
generator must be measured. The
¸SMF100A excels in this area
by continuing the long tradition of
very short level and frequency setting
times in signal generators from
Rohde & Schwarz. These very short
setting times in the millisecond range
can be significantly reduced even
further in the List mode. Here, the use
of frequency and level pairs stored in
a list brings setting times down to less
than 700 µs when changing from one
frequency and level pair to the next.

In addition to very short setting times,
a wide level range is also required.
There are two reasons for this. First,
sensitivity measurements demand very
low levels, which can be set with the
optional attenuators. Second, the micro­wave signal generator must compensate
for loss in the test setup by means of
correspondingly high output power. This
must be done without having to rely on
external amplifiers.

The ¸SMF-B32 or ¸SMF-B34

high output power option, which has

output power of typ. +25 dBm at 20 GHz,

will meet your needs with power to

spare.

Furthermore, the production environ-

ment demands that measuring equip-

ment be small in size. Occupying only

three height units, the ¸SMF100A

leaves ample space for other equipment

in a rack.

Aerospace & defense

The high requirements encountered in the

aerospace & defense industry are met by

the combination of the ¸SMF-K3

pulse modulator option and the

¸SMF-K23 pulse generator option.

For example, both single and double

pulses can be generated with a delay.

In addition, the pulse generator can

generate pulse trains (¸SMF-K27 op-

tion), which are a combination of pulses

with different widths and spacings be-

tween the pulses.

To meet the high security requirements
demanded in aerospace & defense
applications, the internal memory (com­pact flash disk containing all stored set­tings) can be shifted to the rear of the
instrument (¸SMF-B85 option). The
flash disk is then located in a slot and
can be removed whenever necessary.
Thus, sensitive data can always remain
in a secured area.

Intuitive operating concept

State-of-the-art microwave signal
generators offer a wealth of functions,
internal boards, modules, and interfaces.
When working with the instrument, you
will especially appreciate its intuitive
and fast operation as well as its straight­forward display of the settings that have
been made. In the ¸SMF100A, this
is implemented by means of an easy-to­read block diagram.

You can immediately see which blocks
can be called up for modulation or
frequency settings, or which inputs
and outputs have been enabled. Plus,
your colleagues will benefit as well:
All of them can see at a glance how
the ¸SMF100A microwave signal
generator is configured.

The ¸SMF100A block diagram shows numerous settings, the signal flow, as well as active
inputs and outputs in a straightforward manner

¸SMF100A Microwave Signal Generator 7

Selection of interfaces

The ¸SMF100A microwave signal
generator can be remote-controlled via
GPIB, LAN, or USB (LAN is part of the
base unit). Slots are provided for the
GPIB and USB options.

The two spare slots can be used for a
maximum of two of the following three
options: ¸SMF-B83 removable
GPIB, ¸SMF-B84 removable USB, or
¸SMF-B85 removable flash disk.

For operating the instrument outside
the security area, an optional spare
CompactFlash™ memory card
(¸SMF-Z10) is available on which
no security-relevant data is stored. You
can insert this spare card in the slot,
switch on the signal generator, and then
perform an internal instrument adjust­ment. The instrument is now ready for
operation, calibration, or repair.

8 ¸SMF100A Microwave Signal Generator

Suitable for all
applications

Scalar network analysis

A common task in R&D or production is
the adjustment of filters or the character­ization of components. With its integrated
List mode or its optional analog ramp
sweep, the ¸SMF100A directly offers
two ways of performing the measurements
quickly and accurately. A major advantage
in both modes is that frequency and
linearity errors can be eliminated, as
frequency generation is implemented
in a synthesized (digital) manner.

A third brand-new approach to scalar
network analysis is provided by the
power sensor connectivity of the
¸SMF100A plus the ¸SMF-K28
power analysis option.

List mode

Especially when the ¸SMF100A mi­crowave signal generator is used together
with a Rohde & Schwarz spectrum analyzer
(¸FSP-B10 option), scalar network
analysis can be performed selectively and
very quickly. The distinguishing aspect
is a large dynamic range with which,
for example, filters in the passband and
stopband can be measured even at small

¸NRP-Zx power sensor)

levels. An adjustable frequency offset is

also available for measuring frequency-

converting DUTs. (Note: The List mode

in combination with the ¸FSP-B10

option requires that the ¸SMF-B83

removable GPIB option be installed.)

Analog ramp sweep

For the "realtime adjustment" of filters

or components, very high sweep speed

and sweep accuracy are required. The

¸SMF100A meets this requirement

by means of the optional ¸SMF-K4

analog ramp sweep. This solution

furthermore offers a higher frequency

resolution than the List mode mentioned
earlier.

Scalar network analysis with an
¸NRP-Zx power sensor

In the absence of spectrum or network
analyzers scalar network analysis can be
performed by means of the ¸SMF100A
microwave signal generator with the
¸SMF-K28 power analysis option
plus an ¸NRP-Zx power sensor. One
example is to measure the passband
characteristic of a bandpass filter.

¸SMF100A display.

User-defined correction of external
frequency responses

DUTs such as power amplifiers always
have frequency responses. In these
cases, the signal generator needs to com­pensate for the frequency response. The
¸SMF100A offers the User Correction
function for precisely this purpose. For

a known frequency response that needs

to be corrected, you can enter the level

correction values as a function of the fre-

quency. Automatic interpolation of the

correction values is performed between

these frequency points.

To simplify this, the ¸SMF100A can
also automatically include the level cor­rection values at the press of a button by
using external Rohde & Schwarz power
sensors.

The figure on the right shows the com­pensated frequency response of the am­plifier with activated "User correction"
(straight line at 5.7 dBm starting at

2.5 GHz up to 3.5 GHz). This procedure
ensures that only the frequency response
of a bandpass filter is measured, for
example, but not the combined frequency
response of amplifier and bandpass.

LO with exceptionally low
SSB phase noise

Because of its very low SSB phase noise,
the ¸SMF100A can be used for a
wide variety of applications. However,
there are applications that require
"worse" SSB phase noise for testing.

Aerospace & defense applications

The ¸SMF100A can also be used in
pulse radar applications with a rotating
antenna. In the example (see figure), the
external pulse from the pulse generator
is applied to the external pulse input of
the ¸SMF100A and used as a trigger
for the internal pulse generator and
modulator. You can delay this trigger in
order to perform distance and direction
simulations and check them on the radar
equipment's display.

For generating more complex pulse sce­narios, the ¸SMF100A offers a new
feature – based on its pulse modulator
and pulse generator concept – using the
¸SMF-K27 pulse train option. In con­trast to single or double pulses, "pulse
trains" are a combination of different
pulses, which can be a periodical or
non-periodical set of pulses. The built-in
optional pulse generator makes it now
possible to generate these "pulse trains",
which are commonly used for radar ap­plications. Pulse width as well as pulse
pause can be set independently and
separately for each pulse. This makes it
possible to generate staggered pulses or
to apply jitter to pulse width as well as
pulse pause.

Single pulses

In contrast to ARB solutions, the greatest
advantage is the much better performance
of the pulse modulator with respect to

Special features

12 ¸SMF100A Microwave Signal Generator

A unique feature of this microwave
signal generator is that it allows you to
directly connect an ¸NRP-Zx power
sensor. This has its advantages. The
power sensor enables you to measure
the power directly before the DUT and
display it on the ¸SMF100A. Irre­spective of cable loss values or any com­ponents connected between the DUT
and signal generator, you can thus set
the desired power on the DUT by using
the ¸SMF100A microwave signal
generator.

Another advantage becomes evident
in the case of applications that require
very high absolute level accuracy: The
¸SMF100A can measure its own
output power via an attached power
sensor. Manual adjustment capability
allows you to increase the instrument's
exceptional absolute level accuracy even
further.

An ¸NRP-Zx power sensor attached at the sensor connector

You can operate the instrument both
via the front-panel control elements or
via a USB keyboard and USB mouse. To
permit this, the front panel of the instru­ment provides two USB interfaces. In ad­dition, an extra USB port is available on
the rear panel (¸SMF-B84 option,
master and slave USB).

The following question arises in many
applications: How can I transfer instru­ment settings from one instrument to
the other quickly and without errors?
The solution is to use a memory stick.
You merely need to use Save/Recall to
quickly transfer instrument settings to a
different ¸SMF100A.
