Rohde & Schwarz in Munich, Germany, is offering the R&S SMJ100A vector signal generator that provides the high signal quality and flexibility in development, short setting times and flexible baseband for production. With the 100-kHz to 3-GHz frequency option, the R&S SMJ100A covers frequency bands that are important in digital RF transmission. The internal optional baseband generator supports GSM/EDGE, 3 GPP FDD including HSDPA, CDMA2000, WLAN IEEE 802.11a/b/g as well as WiMAX. The internal arbitrary waveform generator offers sequences as long as 64 megasamples. The device has an SSB phase noise of -129 dBc. Menu-guided operation of the R&S SMJ100A also uses the display’s graphical possibilities. It is based on a window structure used by modern PC operating systems, allowing a number of windows to be active simultaneously. A WinBar enables the user to switch quickly from one window to another. The context-sensitive online help provides additional support.
