Key facts
The R&S®SMA100B RF and microwave signal generator delivers uncompromising maximum performance. It provides the purest output signals while maintaining the highest output power levels with the lowest harmonics, far outpacing the competition. As the world's leading signal generator, it can handle the most demanding module and system T&M tasks in the RF semiconductor, wireless communications, aerospace and defense industries.
The R&S®SMA100B delivers uncompromising maximum performance.
SSB phase noise for different frequencies
Measured SSB phase noise performance of the R&S®SMA100B with the R&S®SMAB-B711(N) option
Large dynamic range, excellent level accuracy and level repeatability
Very high output power is often required in the microwave frequency range because the higher the frequency, the more attenuation. The R&S®SMA100B offers different output power stages to compensate for such losses. As a result, no downstream external amplifier is required. Exceptionally high output power levels (measured values)
Maximum measured output power
Measured maximum available output power for the 50 GHz and the 67 GHz instrument (standard, high and ultra-high output power options)
Easy integration into test systems and innovative operating features
Innovative operating features
The built-in SCPI macro recorder and code generator supports fast, easy generation of SCPI program sequences
Trade in your legacy signal generators
R&S®LegacyPro enables the R&S®SMA100B to reliably emulate a wide range of legacy generators from vendors such as Keysight, Agilent, HP, Anritsu and Rohde & Schwarz. As a result, the R&S®SMA100B can be deployed in legacy systems without major software changes, effectively increasing uptime, lowering cost of ownership and lengthening the useful life of the test system.

Measure the true performance of your device
Analog input bandwidth and required clock frequency increase with each new ADC generation. The increase in the effective number of bits also results in a larger signal-to-noise ratio. This means that extremely clean, high-frequency signals exceeding the DUT performance are required to test ADCs and DACs. The outstanding R&S®SMA100B performance is perfect for optimizing DUTs and making improvements technically feasible in the first place.

An R&S®NRP power sensor can be connected to the R&S®SMA100B;
A DUT is rarely connected directly to the generator. Cables and other components are often between the generator and the DUT. This shifts the reference plane from the generator RF output to the DUT. An R&S®NRP power sensor can be connected to the R&S®SMB100B for extremely precise calibration (tenth of a dB) on the new reference plane.

Compensation of an external frequency response
DUTs are often connected to the signal generator via long cables or other frequency dependent components, making it very important to compensate for frequency response. The R&S®SMA100B provides a user correction (UCOR) function for this purpose. Together with an R&S®NRP power sensor, the UCOR values are automatically determined at the push of a button. A frequency response compensated RF signal is available at the new reference plane for UCOR.

The R&S®SMA100B provides various ways to output (or input) reference signals. The 1 MHz to 100 MHz variable external reference frequency input (R&S®SMAB-K704 option) allows the R&S®SMA100B to be easily integrated into existing test environments. The received reference frequency can also be assigned to a completely different reference output.

When measuring gain transfer function or output saturation point in amplifiers with an integrated automatic level control (ALC), the signal generator must provide a wide uninterrupted level sweep range. The R&S®SMA100B with the R&S®SMAB-K724 option provides the following:
