RF and Microwave Signal Generators
Rohde & Schwarz provides a diverse range of signal generators, spanning basic analog models to multi-path vector instruments. For analog RF generation, the Rohde & Schwarz SMA100A operates from 9 kHz to 6 GHz with high spectral purity, delivering a typical phase noise of -135 dBc/Hz at a 1 GHz carrier with a 20 kHz offset. The Rohde & Schwarz SMB100A covers up to 40 GHz depending on configuration, while the general-purpose Rohde & Schwarz SML02 and Rohde & Schwarz SML03 cover up to 2.2 GHz and 3.3 GHz respectively.
For complex modulated signals, the Rohde & Schwarz SMW200A vector signal generator offers up to two independent RF paths and supports frequencies up to 67 GHz with an internal RF modulation bandwidth of up to 2 GHz. The Rohde & Schwarz SMU200A also supports two RF paths up to 6 GHz, and the Rohde & Schwarz SMBV100A provides internal signal generation up to 6 GHz with a baseband RF modulation bandwidth of up to 120 MHz.
Spectrum and Signal Analyzers
The spectrum and signal analyzer catalog ranges from highly portable field instruments to advanced benchtop systems. The handheld Rohde & Schwarz FSH series is optimized for field service and includes the Rohde & Schwarz FSH3 (100 kHz to 3 GHz), the Rohde & Schwarz FSH4 (up to 3.6 GHz), the Rohde & Schwarz FSH6 (models 06 and 26) (100 kHz to 6 GHz), and the Rohde & Schwarz FSH8 (up to 8 GHz). General-purpose field and benchtop testing is also supported by the Rohde & Schwarz FSL6, which covers 9 kHz to 6 GHz with a 28 MHz I/Q analysis bandwidth.
For high-performance benchtop analysis, the Rohde & Schwarz FSW8 operates from 2 Hz to 8 GHz with an analysis bandwidth of up to 160 MHz. High-frequency RF and microwave measurements are addressed by instruments like the Rohde & Schwarz FSV40, which extends analysis up to 40 GHz.
Vector Network Analyzers and Cable Testers
For component and network characterization, the Rohde & Schwarz ZVA24 is a vector network analyzer operating from 10 MHz to 24 GHz, configurable with 2 or 4 ports and featuring dedicated measurement and reference receivers per port. The Rohde & Schwarz ZVL6 is a compact, bidirectional 2-port network analyzer covering 9 kHz to 6 GHz. For field installation and antenna system maintenance, the Rohde & Schwarz ZVH4 cable and antenna analyzer supports return loss, VSWR, and distance-to-fault measurements up to 3.6 GHz.
Power Meters and Wireless Communications Testers
Power measurements are addressed by dedicated base units and sensors. The Rohde & Schwarz NRP/NRP2 base unit supports up to four simultaneous measurement channels and a system frequency range up to 110 GHz with compatible sensors. The Rohde & Schwarz NRT directional power meter monitors forward and reflected power under operational conditions between 200 kHz and 4 GHz. For single-channel applications, the Rohde & Schwarz NRV is compatible with URV5-Z and NRV-Z series sensors.
For mobile wireless communication systems, the Rohde & Schwarz CMU200 is a modular tester covering 10 MHz to 2.7 GHz, supporting both signaling and non-signaling test modes for multiple cellular standards.
