The R&S®SZU100A I/Q upconverter extends the R&S®SMW200A vector signal generator into the mmWave range. Its 2 GHz bandwidth, flat frequency response and dynamic range of over 80 dB allows the R&S®SZU100A to generate high-quality test signals in the frequency range from 57.32 GHz to 65.80 GHz for WLAN IEEE 802.11ad, 5G or microwave links as well as to test satellite and radar systems. Components, chips, transceivers, mobile devices and the communications infrastructure for these fields of application are conveniently tested using the R&S®SZU100A I/Q upconverter.

Key Facts

• Upconversion of R&S®SMW200A generated signals to mmWave frequencies
• Flat frequency response independent of set level and frequency
• Fully characterized in factory; no need for external frequency response correction prior to measurements
• High spectral purity paired with high dynamic range
• Seamless integration into the R&S®SMW200A operating concept for maximum usability

The R&S®SGU100A SGMA Upconverter offers a frequency extension to 40 GHz. When the R&S®SGS100A and the R&S®SGU100A are connected, they act as a single instrument for both remote control and manual operation via the R&S®SGMA-GUI PC software. The combined instruments offer the same connections as the R&S®SGS100A itself: one RF output for the entire frequency range and one analog I/Q input for vector modulation. In this setup, tasks are spread automatically and transparently between the two instruments so that users feel as if they are operating one instrument instead of two.

Equipped with the R&S®SGU100A, the R&S®SGS100A covers the entire frequency range from 10 MHz to 40 GHz without modulation, and from 80 MHz to 40 GHz with Vector modulation.

Key Facts

• Frequency extension to 40 GHz with the R&S®SGU100A upconverter
• Two instruments into one: one RF output for the entire frequency range
• Seamless integration into existing user interfaces
• Lowest form factor and power consumption on the market
• High performance up to microwave frequencies
