The SMZ family of frequency multipliers combines easy handling and precise output levels in the frequency range from 50GHz to 170GHz. It can be used in diverse applications, e.g. in the automotive sector with distance radars, in astronomy with sophisticated telescopes and in radar interferometry for analyzing the earth's surface.
50GHz to 170GHz frequency range
Wide dynamic range
Mechanically controlled attenuator with a dynamic range of 25 dB
Electronically controlled attenuator with a dynamic range of 15 dB
Easy handling
Automatic detection and control of the R&S®SMZ by means of the R&S®SMF100A or R&S®SMB100A microwave signal generator via USB
Easy setups with the one-box solution consisting of the R&S®SMF100A or R&S®SMB100A, the R&S®SMZ plus an optional mechanically or electronically controlled attenuator (the attenuators are not available for the R&S®SMZ170)
Frequency setting on the R&S®SMF100A or R&S®SMB100A taking the connected R&S®SMZ into consideration
Level setting on the R&S®SMF100A or R&S®SMB100A taking the connected R&S®SMZ into consideration (only for built-in attenuator; with the mechanical attenuator, users must set the setting screw to the value displayed on the R&S®SMF100A or R&S®SMB100A)
Automatic frequency response correction of the precalibrated R&S®SMZ including attenuator by means of the R&S®SMF100A or R&S®SMB100A (with the mechanical attenuator, users must set the setting screw to the value displayed on the R&S®SMF100A or R&S®SMB100A)
Use of the R&S®SMZ also possible with any microwave signal generator that meets the level and frequency requirements; for the convenient operation of this setup the external PC software (R&S®SMZ-K1) can be used
For frequency-, phase- and pulse-modulated signals
High signal quality
Very low single sideband phase noise when the R&S®SMF100A is used as a source
High accuracy of the set output level
Excellent matching
