The variety of signal generation for production

This document guides you step-by-step through the configuration procedure for the Vector Signal Generator R&S SMATE200A.

Each step indicates whether an option is mandatory or optional and also provides the following information:

Option

Name of the option

Description

Description of the option

Requires

Options required in order to install the selected option

Not compatible with

Options incompatible with the selected option

HW or SW

Identifies the option as a hardware or software option

Remarks

Special remarks such as “factory-installed”

Mandatory fields that list various selectable options apply only if the step that includes them is chosen

(e.g. choosing a baseband source is mandatory only if the instrument is to be equipped with a baseband path).

The R&S SMATE200A can be equipped with up to two RF paths as well as two baseband paths (A and B), which effectively means two independent signal generators in one cabinet of only four height units. For easier configuration of the instrument to be used, this guide has been divided into two sections:

Single-path instrument

– starting on page 3

Two-path instrument

– starting on page 6

An overview of available options is provided on page 3. Configuration Examples are given on page 10.

Beside this paper version, you can also find an interactive product configurator online on the SMATE200A website under www.smate.rohde-schwarz.com.
