The Rohde & Schwarz, Inc. SML02 signal generator is an
electronic instrument that generates repeating electronic signals. It
contains an electronic oscillator, a circuit that is capable of
creating a repetitive waveform.

The R&S SML Series combines all
the characteristics of a general purpose signal generator - wide
frequency ranges, extensive analog modulation capabilities and high
reliability - into a lightweight, low-cost product.Thanks to its low
phase noise SML is ideally suited to replace Los, and with precise
DC-coupled FM modulation the SML can be used as an accurate VCO. The
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 thus be simulated. The 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. Production test systems, in which the signal is taken to the
DUT via switches and cables, cause level losses which can be easily
compensated by the high output power of SML.Sensitivity measurements
require a signal generator with high level accuracy. This is
particularly true at low output levels. With its sophisticated
calibration technique, SML features high level accuracy (error <0.5
dB at levels >-120 dBm). Squelch measurements call for continuous
level setting. Non-interrupting level variation by typically 30 dB
makes SML the ideal choice for squelch measurements. Protection against
overvoltage - The integrated overvoltage protection of SML protects
against very high external voltages as they may occur during
transceiver measurements.The SML Series provides high accuracy and fast
settling. In production testing, compliance with specified tolerances
is checked. The tolerance range is further limited by the inaccuracy of
the measuring equipment used. Thanks to its high level accuracy of
<0.5 dB (at levels >-120 dBm) SML reduces the accuracy
requirements made on the DUT. This results in higher yield. Speed is of
prime importance in production. And this is exactly one of the strong
points of SML, with a setting time <10 ms for frequency and
level.Simultaneous modulation - TDMA signals can be simulated since SML
offers simultaneous AM, FM/phase and pulse modulation. SML is suitable,
for example, for measurements in line with standards ENV 50204 (test of
immunity to high-frequency electro-magnetic fields of digital radio
telephones) and MIL-STD-462D (measurement of electromagnetic
interference characteristics).
