Unambiguous results due to high spectral purity
The outstanding features of the Rohde & Schwarz SMP03 High Output Microwave Signal Generator, +13 dBm is the extremely low SSB phase noise of <–105 dBc (1 Hz) at 10 GHz (10 kHz from carrier) as well as nonharmonics of <–60/54 dBc up to/ above 20 GHz. The high harmonics rejection and the complete absence of subharmonics below 20 GHz cut out timewasting measurements such as occur with inferior signal generators.

Minimum level error
A highly precise level is required, for example, for measurements and calibration of receivers. A controlled and frequency-response-compensated output level is a basic prerequisite for setting accuracy. In conjunction with a precision attenuator (option ¸SMP-B15/-B17), an extremely high level accuracy is ensured throughout the setting range (<±0.9 dB at 0 dBm in the frequency range 10 MHz to 40 GHz).

Stable output frequency
The crystal reference built-in as standard ensures an accurate and low-drift output frequency. The Rohde & Schwarz SMP03 High Output Microwave Signal Generator, +13 dBm can also be fitted with an oven-ontrolled crystal oscillator (option ¸SMP-B1, OCXO) to meet the most exacting requirements.

High output level eliminates the need for add-on units
A large number of microwave measurements requires mainly one thing: a high output level, which until now has only been possible with expensive add-on amplifiers. Owing to their high output levels, the Rohde & Schwarz SMP03 High Output Microwave Signal Generator, +13 dBm models feature sufficient reserves for compensating the attenuation
of long cables as well as the losses of power splitters and directional couplers.

Our standard:
0.1 Hz frequency resolution
A high frequency resolution is required especially for scientific applications and in industrial research, e.g. for surface measurements of materials using radar equipment. The Rohde & Schwarz SMP03 High Output Microwave Signal Generator, +13 dBm is setting standards with a resolution of 0.1 Hz throughout its frequency range, and even above 20 GHz.

Variety of applications
The Rohde & Schwarz SMP03 High Output Microwave Signal Generator, +13 dBm is ideal for the following applications:
◆ Substitution of local oscillators
◆ Measurements on nonlinear components such as frequency multipliers or high-level mixers
◆ Driving of travelling wave tubes (TWTs) and other power stages
◆ Interconnection of several signal generators for intermodulation measurements
◆ Tracking generator for spectrum and network analyzers

High-quality shielding
Sensitivity measurements on low-noise satellite receivers can only be made with absolutely RF-leakage-proof signal sources. The comprehensive shielding of the Rohde & Schwarz SMP03 High Output Microwave Signal Generator, +13 dBm ensures extremely low RF leakage.

Frequency and phase modulation
The Rohde & Schwarz SMP03 High Output Microwave Signal Generator, +13 dBm is fitted as standard with a broadband FM modulator covering a modulation frequency range up to 5 MHz for deviations up to 10 MHz (20 MHz above 20 GHz). In addition, a precision FM/ϕM modulator (option ¸SM-B5) with a modulation frequency range of up to 1 MHz and maximum deviation of up to 1 MHz (2 MHz for f >20 GHz) is available for testing communication receivers and for scientific applications.
