Configuration Guide
Version

The variety of signal generation for production
This document guides you step-by-step through the configuration procedure for the Vector Signal Generator R&S SMATE200A.
Each step indicates whether an option is mandatory or optional and also provides the following information:
Option Name of the option
Description Description of the option
Requires Options required in order to install the selected option
Not compatible with Options incompatible with the selected option
HW or SW Identifies the option as a hardware or software option
Remarks Special remarks such as “factory-installed”
Mandatory fields that list various selectable options apply only if the step that includes them is chosen
(e.g. choosing a baseband source is mandatory only if the instrument is to be equipped with a baseband path).
The R&S SMATE200A can be equipped with up to two RF paths as well as two baseband paths (A and B), which effectively means two independent signal generators in one
cabinet of only four height units. For easier configuration of the instrument to be used, this guide has been divided into two sections:
Single-path instrument – starting on page 3
Two-path instrument – starting on page 6
An overview of available options is provided on page 3. Configuration Examples are given on page 10.
Beside this paper version, you can also find an interactive product configurator online on the SMATE200A website under
www.smate.rohde-schwarz.com.

Note: Digital modulation systems and noise can be used either in baseband path A or baseband path B. The digital modulation systems or noise will be required twice
only if the baseband paths are used simultaneously. (For example, an instrument is equipped with one R&S SMATE-K40 and two R&S SMATE-B10. In this configuration, R&S SMATE-K40 can be used either on baseband path A or baseband path B. For simultaneous use on both baseband paths, R&S SMATE-K40 woul d
be required twice.)
As only one set of Differential I/Q outputs SMATE-B16 can be installed, they can be switched to path A or B like the I/Q-outputs.
