Offering an unmatched level of performance for digitally modulated signal generation up to 67 GHz frequencies and beyond, the R&S SMW200A is the first generator to offer a flat frequency response and 2 GHz modulation bandwidth beyond 44 GHz.

The R&S SMW200A series vector signal generator now covers a frequency band of up to 67 GHz in a single instrument.

In addition to all applications already supported up to 44 GHz, the new frequency option, which ranges from 100 kHz to 56 GHz, covers all 5G frequencies currently in use, as well as frequencies specific to terrestrial and satellite communication applications. The frequency option that covers a frequency range from 100 kHz to 67 GHz also supports the higher frequency bands planned for 5G, the 60 GHz WiGig band and intersatellite links.

Over the past decade, an autonomous vector signal generator could not deliver complex digitally modulated signals beyond 44 GHz with high accuracy. Higher frequency signals could only be obtained at the cost of certain constraints: lower accuracy or the use of external frequency converters. Now, with new options to cover maximum frequencies of 56 GHz and 67 GHz, the Rohde & Schwarz R&S SMW200A significantly pushes the existing boundaries in the generation of high-quality, digitally modulated broadband signals. The maximum modulation bandwidth of 2 GHz meets the requirements of the widest subcarrier spacing defined by Release 17 for 5G communication signals in fr2 band, and satellite broadband transmissions. The R&S 8MW200A has undeniable qualities in terms of signal generation. In particular, it offers excellent modulation capabilities, flat frequency response and four levels of phase noise performance based on a hardware architecture. These specifications are also offered by generators with the two new frequency options.

The SMW200A R&S series generator can now be used in a variety of U- and V-band applications such as mobile radiocommunications, wireless LANs and satellite communications. Thanks to the frequency options at 56 GHz or 67 GHz, it is perfectly suited for engineers in the mobile radio sector who develop RF products and components operating in the 5G spectrum located in the 47 GHz frequency band that is already allocated by the FCC to US mobile network operators. Release 17 of 3GPP, which specifies improvements to 5G, has reached a sufficiently well-defined stage. Designers will therefore need to equip themselves with a signal generator to cover the FR2 frequency band which now extends from 52.6 GHz to 71 GHz. The R&S SMW200A. with its 67 GHz frequency option (up to 72 GHz overscale), is the only signal generator currently available on the market that meets their needs.

The new frequency options are equally appropriate for applications related to wireless networks and high-frequency Wi-Fi, including IEEE 802.11 ad compliant technologies that operate in the unlicensed 60 GHz (57-71 GHz) band. For satellite communication applications, bidirectional links operate between 37.5 GHz and 52.4 GHz. Intersatellite links implement frequencies of up to 66 GHz with bandwidths of up to 2 GHz.

The R&S SMW200A with frequency options at 56 GHz or 67 GHz, integrated into a single instrument, is also the ideal source of high-performance signals for demanding applications implementing frequencies above 44 GHz in the aerospace and defense industries. It is also ideally suited for the generation of digitally modulated signals essential for preliminary research on 6G communication components and systems.
