Specifications apply under the following conditions: 30 minutes warm-up time at ambient temperature, specified environmental
conditions met, calibration cycle adhered to, and all internal adjustments performed. Data designated “overrange” or “underrange” and
data without tolerance limits is not binding.
EMC specifications are tested with sufficiently shielded cables and accessories (e.g. mouse and keypad). To prevent degradation of
these specifications, it is the user's responsibility to use appropriate equipment.
In compliance with the 3GPP standard, chip rates are specified in Mcps (million chips per second), whereas bit rates and symbol rates
are specified in kbps (thousand bits per second) or ksps (thousand symbols per second). Mcps, kbps and ksps are not SI units.
Device settings and GUI parameters are designated with the format "parameter: value".

SMU200A Vector Signal Generator 3
Version 08.00, January 2012
Introduction
The R&S®SMU200A vector signal generator has been designed to meet all requirements encountered in the research and
development as well as production of modern communications systems. The R&S
independent signal generators in one cabinet of only four height units, but also offers unrivaled RF and baseband characteristics.
®
Due to its modular design, the R&S
SMU200A can be optimally adapted to the requirements of different applications. The first RF path
can be equipped with one of the four available frequency options. The upper frequency limit of 2.2 GHz, 3 GHz, 4 GHz or 6 GHz is
user-selectable. In addition, a second RF path can be installed with an upper frequency limit of 2.2 GHz or 3 GHz. The lower
frequency limit of all frequency options is 100 kHz.
Two generators can also be installed in the baseband section. They generate complex signals in realtime and are equipped with an
arbitrary waveform generator with 16 Msample, 64 Msample or 128 Msample memory. The signals generated in the different
basebands can be added, even with frequency offset.
Featuring a dual-path concept and an optional integrated multichannel fading simulator, the R&S
receivers as 2x2 MIMO systems can be tested using a single instrument. For larger systems up to 2x4 or 4x2 MIMO, two instruments
can be combined.
®
The modern, intuitive concept of the R&S
SMU200A ensures fast and easy operation.
®
SMU200A not only combines up to two

SMU200A is ideal for tests on MIMO

Dynamic scenario simulation (R&S®SMU-K77 option)
At least one R&S®SMU-B14 fading simulator must be installed. If both the R&S®SMU-B14 and the R&S®SMU-B15 are installed (signal
paths A and B), dynamic scenario simulation can be used either on signal path A or B with one R&S
scenario simulation to be used on signal paths A and B simultaneously, two R&S
®
SMU-K77 must be installed.
Scenarios
Predefined
ship to ship simulation of the signal transmission from
one object to another, each moving on a
straight line of definable direction
tower to aircraft simulation of the signal transmission
between a tower and an aircraft; the
aircraft takes off, flies a circuit and lands
again
User-defined simulation of two moving objects trajectories and type of object (and their
limits) are fully customizable
A trajectory viewer visualizes the generated trajectories and displays the position of the objects in realtime. The display shows an x-y
and x-z view. The viewer is available for both predefined and user-defined scenarios.
