The R&S SMCV100B vector signal generator is the first multistandard platform for automotive, broadcast,
navigation and wireless applications. This makes the R&S SMCV100B unique for use in many applications, from the lab to production and wherever different technologies meet.
The Rohde & Schwarz SMCV100B vector signal generator features a new direct RF DAC concept for RF signal generation. This concept enables I/Q modulation and upconversion in the digital domain, which eliminates the I and Q imbalance errors and LO leakage associated with traditional analog I/Q modulators.
The R&S SMCV100B options concept is fully software defined. No hardware options are required to obtain full nstrument functionality. This software concept applies to upgrading the RF frequency, memory, I/Q modulation bandwidth and all other R&S SMCV100B options for other applications.

Powerful Internal Baseband Generator
The R&S SMCV100B provides powerful hardware for internal baseband signal generation. The R&S SMCV100B either generates signals in real time in FPGAs or it uses the ARB generator to directly generate I/Q signals for digital communications standards. The R&S WinIQSIM2™ signal simulation software can also be used to generate I/Q signals.
Real-time signal generation in FPGAs is especially used for broadcast standards. This technological approach enables continuous and very long uninterrupted signal generation with different data content (audio, video, data, PRBS) for decoding. Such long sequences are required for testing the performance or EMC of tuners.
5″ Touch Display in a 2 HU Instrument
The high-resolution 5″ touch display and clearly structured block diagram user interface enable simple and intuitive operation at all times. The user instantly sees the signal flow in the R&S SMCV100B as well as the states of the instrument inputs and outputs. An integrated graphic function displays the generated signal in real time.
