When equipped with the R&S SMB-B112 / R&S SMB-B112L option, the R&S SMB100A can perform the blocking tests that are specified in many telecommunications standards. In these tests, the useful signal at the receiver is subjected to interference from a CW signal on a frequency up to 12.75 GHz. The R&S SMB100A can also be used as an RF source for tests on X band radar equipment and in a variety of other applications. Like the models that operate up to 6 GHz, the 12.75 GHz signal generators of the R&S SMB100A family also feature a very high output level as standard, outstanding RF characteristics and low cost of ownership.
The R&S SMB-B112 option (with electronic step attenuator) and the R&S SMB-B112L option (without electronic step attenuator) for expanding the frequency range of the analog R&S SMB100A are now available from Rohde & Schwarz.
