The R&S®SMA100B​ RF and microwave signal generator provides the purest output signals while maintaining the highest output power level, far outpacing the competition. For LO substitution in radar applications, the SMA100B can generate microwave signals with extremely low close-in SSB phase noise, enabling radar systems to detect even very slow objects. For testing analog-to-digital converters (ADC), the R&S®SMA100B​ RF produces signals with extremely low wideband noise. The same signal generator can provide an extremely pure clock signal for the ADC. A second, independent output can provide clock signals for ADC testing with the lowest wideband phase noise.

With the R&S®SMA100B, it is no longer necessary to choose between signal purity and high output power. It is the only signal generator that can supply signals with ultra-high output power in combination with extremely low harmonic signal components, setting new standards for high-end analog signal generators. Even at very high output powers, harmonics are suppressed by more than 70 dBc over a wide frequency range, an invaluable advantage when measuring an amplifier's harmonic signal components. The SMA100B also has a special 1 GHz reference output. The 1 GHz reference provides better phase-locked coupling of multiple SMA100B than the 10 MHz reference. This 1 GHz output also features phenomenal signal purity.
