AT A GLANCE
The R&S®SMW200A is the vector signal generator for the most demanding applications. As a result of
its flexibility, performance and intuitive operation, it is a perfect tool for generating complex, digitally
modulated signals of high quality.
The R&S®SMW200A is the ideal generator for digitally
modulated signals required for the development of new
wideband communications systems, the verification of
4G and 5G base stations or in the aerospace and defense
sector.
The I/Q modulation bandwidth of up to 2GHz with internal
baseband satisfies fourth and fifth generation standards
(e.g. 5G, LTE-Advanced and IEEE 802.11ac/ad), and the
R&S®SMW200A is designed to meet future requirements.
Its modular scalable architecture allows users to optimize
the generator to their applications and to upgrade it as
required.
A second RF path can be added, as well as a maximum
of two baseband and four fading simulator modules–
without compromising signal quality. As a result, the
R&S®SMW200A can create signal scenarios that previ-
ously required multiple instruments or could not be imple-
mented at all. From MIMO up to 8x2 and LTE-Advanced
carrier aggregation including fading to multistandard
radio– never before has an instrument offered such
highclass signal generation capability.
If more than two RF paths are required, additional
R&S®SGMA signal generator modules can be connected.
The intuitive, touchscreen based operating concept pro-
vides the user with an overview of measurements, no
matter how complex, and quickly delivers the desired
results.
