applications today
With constantly rising cost pressures, investments
made today must also be able to meet future requirements. The R&S®SMBV100A was developed to
satisfy this objective and is setting new standards
for this class of instrument.

Future-proof hardware concept
The R&S®SMBV100A vector signal generator benefits from
a carefully planned instrument concept. Depending on the
configuration, the instrument can function as a pure I/Q
upconverter, a cost-effective signal generator with integrated ARB or an advanced vector signal generator with
internal signal generation and realtime capabilities. The instrument concept allows the signal generator to be adapted to the individual task at hand, thereby reducing the
investment required. At the same time, the performance
of the individual hardware components provides ample capacity for future applications as well.

internal signal generation
The wide R&S®SMBV100A RF bandwidth extending up
to 120 MHz with internal signal generation is more than
adequate for the latest broadband digital standards such
as LTE and WiMAX. This bandwidth also offers ample capacity for future standards. Since it is easy to import test
signals you create on your own, e.g. with MATLAB®, the
R&S®SMBV100A is well prepared to generate the signals
you will also need in the future.

R&S®SMBV100A and R&S®AFQ100B
Maximum RF bandwidth of I/Q modulator exceeds
500 MHz
The integrated I/Q modulator provides a maximum RF
bandwidth of over 500 MHz for externally supplied I/Q signals. For example, this wide bandwidth allows upconversion of UWB signals, which can be generated as I/Q signals by the R&S®AFQ100B baseband signal generator. This
wide bandwidth is also available for use with frequency
agility or steep-edged pulse modulation with a flexible external I/Q source such as the R&S®AFQ100B.
Always up-to-date with software upgrades
The powerful baseband generator is already prepared to
handle future applications. The flexible software architecture allows the integration of new standards and extension
of existing standards based on simple software updates,
requiring no investment in new hardware.

Baseband coder with realtime capabilities for direct
signal generation
The most powerful baseband generator (R&S®SMBV-B10)
includes an integrated arbitrary waveform generator as
well as a baseband coder that allows signal generation
directly in the instrument. Besides realtime generation of
signals for user-configurable digital modulation, a multitude of digital standards such as HSPA+, LTE, WLAN and
WiMAX are also supported (option). All signal parameters
are configured directly on the instrument. Even complex
signals can be generated with only a few keystrokes. Multicarrier test scenarios can also be defined on the instrument itself no matter whether working with different or
the same digital standards. Multicarrier power amplifier
(MCPA) tests and interoperability tests are very easy to
perform.

The R&S®SMBV-B10 baseband generator thus totally eliminates the need to generate test signals using an external
computer and transfer them to the vector signal generator.
This is especially beneficial in a development environment
where fast, easy access to signal parameters is critical
during both manual operation and remote operation. This
helps to speed up the work flow and minimize development time.
The realtime coder also enables the user to generate test
sequences with a theoretically infinite length, e.g. with
simple digitally modulated signals or internally generated
digital standards such as 3GPP FDD (downlink) and GSM.
This makes bit error rate tests reliable in cases where a
sufficiently long test sequence is needed for statistical assessment.
Rohde & Schwarz R&S®SMBV100A Vector Signal Generator 7
Integrated ARB for playback of precalculated
waveforms
Precalculated test sequences are common especially in
production environments. The R&S®SMBV100A is also well
equipped in this area: All three versions of the baseband
generator are capable of playing back precalculated waveforms. When it comes to generating standard-compliant
signals, the external R&S®WinIQSIM2™ waveform generation software is also available. It supports standards such
as LTE, HSPA+ and WiMAX. Proprietary signals and special test vectors (e.g. generated using MATLAB®) can also
be played back from the integrated ARB with no problem.
The two ARB-only versions (R&S®SMBV-B50/-B51) are recommended in all instances where a cost-saving solution is
needed and there is no need to set signal parameters directly on the instrument.
Memory depth of up to 256 Msamples for long test
sequences
The ARB memory can be extended from the standard size
of 32 Msamples to 256 Msamples. This makes it possible
to play back long test sequences for realistic measurements on DUTs.
A dream team: R&S®SMBV100A and R&S®FSV for generating and
analyzing digitally modulated signals
If the optional mass memory (R&S®SMBV-B92) is installed
in the R&S®SMBV100A, it is easy to save test sequences
in the instrument and recall them for later use without having to retransfer them. This speeds up manual tests and
is of course also useful in production applications where
numerous test sequences typically must be kept ready for
use.

state-of-the-art
Straightforward signal configuration due to easy-touse GUI
During internal signal generation, the R&S®SMBV100A offers clear benefits due to its straightforward display and
graphical user interface. The signal generator allows intuitive operation via the block diagram. The context-sensitive
help system assists users during everyday work, e.g. when
information is needed about individual parameters in the
digital standards.
digital standards
With its internal baseband coder (R&S®SMBV-B10),
the R&S®SMBV100A optionally allows users to generate all major digital communications standards
– and without needing any external signal generation software. Alternatively, waveforms can be generated for the digital standards using the external
R&S®WinIQSIM2™ software. Besides applying predefined test signals, users also have free access to
individual signal parameters. Users can thus generate standard-compliant cellular or wireless signals.

Excellent phase noise ensures low EVM with digital
signals
SSB phase noise is a key parameter when it comes to RF
generator signal quality. This parameter is important not
only in CW applications, but also particularly with digital
signals. It has a direct influence on the error vector magnitude (EVM) of digital signals, which is an important parameter especially with today’s OFDM-based communications
systems such as WiMAX and LTE.
A well-designed RF unit provides a solid basis for
fast, clean digital signal generation. This is necessary to allow reproducible measurements with the
digital signals used in development and production
environments.
The good signal characteristics provided by the
R&S®SMBV100A also include excellent figures for nonharmonics, which are important when making interference
measurements.
High output level compensates for losses in test/
system setup
Test signals not only need to be pure; they must have sufficient power levels as well. This becomes obvious particularly when working with more complex systems in
which the actual test setup (cables, switches, couplers,
etc.) introduces losses between the generator and DUT.
The R&S®SMBV100A can easily compensate for such
losses with its high output power. With a specified output
power of greater than +18 dBm (PEP) and typically even
+24 dBm over a wide frequency range of 1 MHz to 6 GHz,
the instrument delivers unparalleled performance in the
mid-range class. This eliminates the need for external amplifiers, which not only drive up costs but also increase the
system’s level uncertainty.

List mode
In production as well as in module characterization, numerous test points in the frequency and level domain are
scanned. However, scans of this sort are only as fast as the
slowest element in the chain. The R&S®SMBV100A makes
a solid contribution with switching times of less than 1 ms
in the standard List mode, thus helping to reduce the test
time. This speeds up tests in development and helps to
achieve throughput objectives in production at minimum
costs.
Analog modulation for basic measurements
Analog modulation modes are also required in order to
make the R&S®SMBV100A an all-purpose generator. This
is why amplitude, frequency and phase modulation are all
standard features. The R&S®SMBV100A also offers an internal LF source that can be used as a modulation generator.
The analog modulation capabilities can be enhanced even
further with an optional pulse modulator and generator
that offers an impressive rise/fall time of typically only 4 ns
and a maximum on/off ratio of typically 90 dB.

Support for R&S®EX-IQ-Box digital interface adapter
CW interference and AWGN simulation
The baseband section can also be enhanced with an option for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), which permits realistic tests involving noisy signals.
The Noise Only and CW Interferer modes extend the generator’s range of applications. In the Noise Only mode, the
R&S®SMBV100A behaves like a defined noise source with
adjustable bandwidth and level. The CW Interferer mode
allows the internal addition of a CW carrier to the wanted
signal, eliminating the need for an additional signal generator. This function is very useful for measuring adjacent
channel suppression on receivers.
Analog and digital baseband outputs
To extend the range of applications of the optional internal baseband generators, they have analog differential
I/Q outputs as a standard feature. This means that the
R&S®SMBV100A can test the baseband section as well as
the RF input of a DUT via its analog interface.
Support for R&S®EX-IQ-Box digital interface adapter
The baseband interface also offers an optional digi-

that operates together with the
R&S®EX-IQ-Box. The R&S®EX-IQ-Box makes adaptation
to the device under test an easy task because it supports

is conveniently operated via the user interface of the
R&S®SMBV100A.

Low cost of ownership due to simple
service concept
Key features
Choice between on-site service and Rohde & Schwarz service center
Long calibration interval of three years
Modular design allows fast repairs
Fast on-site servicing
The R&S®SMBV100A has been designed for maximum dependability and easy servicing. This helps to maximize uptime in a wide variety of applications, which in turn means
lower cost of ownership for the customer.
In addition, customers can choose between calibrating or
repairing the instrument themselves or having a certified
Rohde & Schwarz service center do the work. This helps
customers to minimize downtime and to return the instrument to operation again as fast as possible. This is especially critical in production applications.
Long calibration interval (three years) minimizes
service costs
Due to the stability of the components and modules that
are used, the recommended calibration interval is three
years. This minimizes the frequency of servicing, helping
to save costs and ensure maximum uptime for the instrument.
Straightforward modular design for short repair
times
In cases where repairs are actually necessary, internal error diagnostics help to pinpoint the problem. The design
uses a minimum number of modules to simplify and speed
up the exchange process. Since all modules have already
been fully adjusted, a brief functional check is all that is
necessary in order to restore the outstanding characteristics of the R&S®SMBV100A. If you also use a power sensor such as the R&S®NRP-Z92 to perform a new power
level adjustment for the entire instrument, you can further
increase the level accuracy.

High level repeatability ensures stable test conditions
High output power allows substitution of additional power amplifiers
Optimized for high production throughput
Several characteristics are important for achieving
high throughput in production. The fast frequency and
level switching times provided by the R&S®SMBV100A
(<1 ms in List mode) provide a solid foundation. However, to allow fast switching of digital signals as well, the
R&S®SMBV100A supports the multisegment waveform
(MSW) mode. The MSW mode makes it possible to switch
between multiple test sequences that are kept stored in
memory simultaneously. Switching is controlled based on
a user-specified schedule or by external triggering. With
a memory depth of up to 256 Msamples, it is possible
to switch between a number of different signals without
having to waste time loading the data. Typical switching
times are a brief 5 µs at a clock rate of 50 MHz. This is important when testing the advanced multimode modules
that are used to process the different signals in GSM and
3GPP FDD.
Another important item is the level repeatability, which determines whether it is possible to obtain stable test conditions. The R&S®SMBV100A offers performance that makes
it possible to set tighter measurement limits and thus increase the test yield.
Multisegment waveform concept
Since higher level losses typically occur in more complex
production systems, the R&S®SMBV100A offers a high
output power of >+18 dBm, and typically even +24 dBm
over the entire frequency range above 1 MHz. This eliminates the need for additional amplifiers, thereby saving
space and money and helping to avoid loss of level accuracy on the DUT due to drift.

Key features
Optional pulse modulator with 90 dB on/off ratio
Support for R&S®SMBV-K6 pulse sequencer software
Optional coupling of multiple instruments for generation of phase coherent RF signals
Prepared for aerospace and defense applications
The R&S®SMBV100A offers two choices when it comes
to generating typical pulse scenarios. The classic method
uses an optional pulse generator and RF pulse modulator
for a maximum on/off ratio of typically 90 dB. The other
choice involves pulse generation using an I/Q modulator and an ARB signal for maximum flexibility in terms of
pulse shapes and sequences. The optional R&S®SMBV-K6
pulse sequencer allows the easy generation of a wide
range of realistic pulse sequences. With a high clock rate
of up to 150 MHz, it generates pulses with steep edges
while also supporting standard frequency hopping techniques with up to 120 MHz bandwidth.
During measurements on phased array antenna systems,
the phase coherence option provides useful support. Multiple generators can be coupled to a common local oscillator to generate the signals needed for beamforming.
If the generator is used in a secure area, sanitizing procedures help to support the clearance procedure. The
optional hard disk used to store signal data can be easily
removed without opening the instrument.
