Microwave Signal Generator SMP
SMP02, 22: 0.01/2 to 20 GHz
SMP03: 0.01/2 to 27 GHz
SMP04: 0.01/2 to 40 GHz
Excellent signal characteristics
and high output power up to
40 GHz
Brief description
SMP is a reliable, high-precision signal source featuring high output
power, high spectral purity and excellent pulse modulation. It is able to supply signals for any measurements on
radar and communications receivers.
A wide range of extensions ensures
universal use in R&D, production,
EMC and environmental measurements as well as in material testing.
Main features
• High spectral purity
• Stable output frequency
• High output level:
SMP02 SMP22 SMP03 SMP04
>11.5 >20 >13 >10 dBm
at 20 20 27 40 GHz
• Fast settling after a frequency
change
• AM, FM, ϕM, pulse modulation
•Scan modulation
• RF, AF and level sweep
• Large choice of options for userspecific configuration
• Great ease of operation through
modern menu concept
