The Rhode & Schwarz SMW200A vector signal generator combines flexibility, performance and intuitive operation to quickly and easily generate complex, high quality signals for LTE Advanced and next generation hardware. The vector signal generator covers the frequency range from 100 kHz to 3 GHz or 6 GHz, and features an I/Q modulation bandwidth of 160 MHz, with internal baseband. The unit can be equipped with an optional second RF path for frequencies up to 6 GHz and with a maximum of two baseband and four fading simulator modules, giving users two full-featured vector signal generators in a single unit. Fading scenarios, such as 2×2 MIMO, 8×2 MIMO for TD-LTE and 2×2 MIMO for LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation, can be easily simulated. It enables faster time-to-market, improves end-device quality, and exceeds important 2G, 3G and 4G digital standards and applications. Exceptional modulation and RF characteristics make it ideal for developing high-end components, modules and complete products for wideband communications systems such as LTE-Advanced and WLAN IEEE 802.11ac. www.rohde-schwarz.com
