Product Overview

RENT ROHDE & SCHWARZ SGS100A SGMA RF Source (Call for Availability)

The Rohde & Schwarz SGS100A is an RF source designed to meet the requirements of automated test systems. It is available as a CW source or as a vector signal generator with an integrated I/Q modulator. With its frequency range of up to 12.75 GHz, the vector signal generator version covers the essential digital signals.  It offers performance usually available only from high-end instruments, including high output power, level repeatability and modulation bandwidth. During development, particular emphasis was placed on the total cost of ownership. A long calibration interval, excellent serviceability and options for expansion maximize the availability of the RF source.

Production applications require speed during testing to ensure high throughput. The Rohde & Schwarz SGS100A meets this requirement in several ways. Its internal architecture and the software are designed for top speed and the PCIe/ Ethernet interface transmits the remote control commands at maximum speed. Special commands (based on a Rohde & Schwarz driver) can be used to control the generator directly. This eliminates the need for a time-consuming translation of high-level commands in the instrument, again increasing the speed. With these optimizations, the Rohde & Schwarz SGS100A is able to achieve frequency and level setting times of typ. 280 µs. This was previously possible only by using vector signal generators with List modes, but not when issuing individual remote control commands directly. The test sequence can be adapted flexibly in the software without having to renew the frequency lists and the level lists.
