Rohde & Schwarz SMW200A-B1020-B2020
100 kHz - 20 GHz, 2-Channel Vector Signal Generator
Rent or Lease
New: Up to 2 GHz internal modulation bandwidth
The R&S SMW200A-B1020-B2020 is the Vector Signal Generator for the most demanding applications. As a result of its flexibility, performance and intuitive operation, it is a perfect tool for generating complex, digitally modulated signals of high quality.
The R&S SMW200A generator is the ideal generator for digitally modulated signals required for the development of new wideband communications systems, the verification of 3G and 4G base stations or in the aerospace and defense sector.
The I/Q modulation bandwidth of up to 2 GHz with internal baseband satisfies fourth- and fifth-generation standards (e.g. 5G, LTE-Advanced and IEEE 802.11ac/ad), and the R&S SMW200A vector signal generator is designed to meet future requirements. Its modular scalable architecture allows users to optimize the generator to their applications and to upgrade it as required.
A second RF path can be added, as well as a maximum of two baseband and four fading simulator modules ? without compromising on signal quality. As a result, the R&S ? SMW200A-B1020-B2020 can create signal scenarios that previously required multiple instruments or could not be implemented at all. From MIMO up to 8x2 and LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation including fading to multistandard radio never before has an instrument offered such high-class signal generation capability.
If more than two RF paths are required, additional R&S SGMA signal generator modules can be connected. The intuitive, touchscreen-based operating concept provides the user with an overview of measurements, no matter how complex, and quickly delivers the desired results.
At TRS-RenTelco, you can rent or lease the Rohde & Schwarz SMW200A-1020-B2020 Vector Signal Generator with 24/7 customer service. Request a quote today.

What is the frequency range of the R&S SMW200A with B1020 and B2020 options?
The R&S SMW200A with B1020 and B2020 options provides dual RF paths, both covering 100 kHz to 20 GHz. This dual-path configuration makes it ideal for testing scenarios requiring both wanted signal and interferer generation, TX/RX diversity testing, or dual-cell applications. Both paths use mechanical step attenuators for precise level control across the entire frequency range.
What is the I/Q modulation bandwidth capability of this vector signal generator?
The SMW200A supports up to 2 GHz I/Q modulation bandwidth in RF with internal baseband when equipped with the wideband baseband option. With standard baseband configurations, it enables RF modulation bandwidths up to 160 MHz. The exceptional modulation frequency response of less than 0.4 dB (measured) over 2 GHz bandwidth ensures high signal quality for wideband applications including 5G NR and advanced WLAN standards.
How fast is the frequency switching time on the SMW200A B1020 configuration?
The frequency setting time for the B1020 option is less than 1.4 ms (typically 1.0 ms) to within 1 x 10^-7 accuracy with GUI update stopped and fast I/Q optimization mode. In list mode, switching is even faster at less than 0.8 ms typical. The frequency resolution of synthesis is 0.053 nHz nominal at 1 GHz, enabling precise frequency control for demanding applications.
Can the SMW200A with dual 20 GHz paths generate independent signals simultaneously?
Yes, when equipped with the B13T or B13XT baseband main module option, the SMW200A with B1020 and B2020 can generate two completely independent signals up to 20 GHz simultaneously. Each RF path has its own signal chain with independent frequency, level, and modulation settings. This configuration is particularly valuable for receiver testing with wanted signal plus interferer scenarios, dual-carrier HSPA, or LTE carrier aggregation applications.
What is the SSB phase noise performance of the SMW200A B1020?
The SMW200A B1020 exhibits excellent spectral purity with SSB phase noise of approximately negative 150 dBc typical at 1 GHz with 10 kHz offset in standard performance mode. The instrument can be upgraded with low phase noise options (B709, B710, or B711) for even better performance. These phase noise characteristics make it suitable for high-performance receiver testing and sensitive spectral measurements.
Does this dual-path configuration support MIMO testing capabilities?
Yes, the dual-path SMW200A with optional fading modules can support comprehensive MIMO scenarios. When fully equipped with up to four fading modules, the system provides up to 32 logical faders enabling MIMO configurations such as 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 8x4, and 4x8. The internal baseband can provide up to eight independent signal sources, making it ideal for LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation, multi-user MIMO, and multistandard radio testing.
What digital standards are supported natively on the SMW200A?
The SMW200A includes native support for major digital standards through internal software options, including 5G New Radio, LTE up to Release 15 with carrier aggregation, NB-IoT, eMTC, 3GPP FDD/HSPA/HSPA+, GSM/EDGE, and WLAN IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/j/p/ac/ax/ad. These standards are configured and generated directly on the instrument without requiring external PC software, significantly simplifying operation and reducing signal setup time.
What level control resolution does the dual 20 GHz configuration provide?
The B1020 and B2020 paths both provide output level adjustment with 0.01 dB resolution using mechanical step attenuators. Level accuracy specifications vary with frequency and power setting but are optimized for measurement-grade performance across the entire 100 kHz to 20 GHz range. The electronic attenuator found in lower frequency options (3 GHz, 6 GHz, 7.5 GHz, 12.75 GHz) provides faster switching, but the mechanical attenuator used in 20 GHz paths offers consistent high-frequency performance.
