Rohde & Schwarz SML01 * SML02 * SML03

Analog Signal Generators with High Speed, Electronic Attenuator

Features And Benefits

• Economy at its Best - The SML Combines all the Characteristics of a General-purpose Signal Generator -- Wide Frequency Range, Extensive Analog Modulation Capabilities and High Reliability -- Into a Lightweight, Low-cost Product
• High Spectral Purity - Thanks to its Low Phase Noise, the SML is Ideally Suited to Replace Local Oscillators
• Versatile Modulation Modes - SML in Conjunction with the Optional Pulse Modulator SML-B3 Handles all Analog Types of Modulation. AM/FM/Phase and Pulse Modulation Can be Used Simultaneously. TDMA Signals or Amplitude Variations at FM, For Example, Can be Simulated
• High and Precise Output Level - SML has Plenty of Power in Reserve so Level Loss Produced by the Test Setup Can be Easily Compensated. Its High Output Level Makes SML an Ideal Source for Driving High-level Mixers
• Excellent Modulation Characteristics - The Precise DC-coupled FM Allows the SML to be Used as an Accurate VCO

Applications

• Production Test - SML is Fast, Accurate and Reliable
• Service - SML is Robust, Compact and Lightweight
• EMS Measurements - SML Provides Wide Frequency Range, Uninterrupted Level Setting and Level Setting Without Overshoots
• R & D - SML Provides High Performance at the Best Price

The SML combines all characteristics that today are expected from a general-purpose signal generator: wide frequency range, extensive modulation capabilities and high reliability - all this for a very attractive price. In R&D and service, or as flexible signal source in automated test systems for production, the uses for the SML are nearly unlimited.

For use in R&D, the SML0X provides:

• Wide frequency range / 9 kHz to 3.3 GHz
• High spectral purity / SSB-PhaseNoise: < -122 dBc/Hz (typ. < -128 dBc/Hz)
• High and accurate Output-Level / +13 dBm (+19 dBm over-range)
• Very good modulation capabilities / AM/FM/(Phi)M (optional Pulse Modulation)

For Production the SML0X Provides:

• Accuracy and speed for a high throughput / < 10 ms setting time for frequency and level
• Reliability / high reliability due to the electronic attenuator
