Signal quality, speed and flexibility ? these are the criteria by which signal generators are measured today. SMA100A perfectly meets these criteria, and thus is a premium-class analog generator that sets new standards due to its outstanding characteristics.

SMA100A combines superior signal quality with very high setting speed, which makes it ideal for any task. Whether in development, production, service or maintenance, the SMA-100A does an excellent job.

In the frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz, it can generate CW signals as well as all common types of analog modulation (AM, FM, jM, pulse modulation). Excellent specifications and a wide range of modulation signals ? these are the characteristic features of the SMA100A.

In addition, a low-jitter clock synthesizer option supplies differential clock signals of up to 1.5 GHz independently of the RF frequency. This makes the SMA100A suitable for a variety of applications ? from use in phase noise test systems through to tests on mixed signal ICs.
