A RF Hardware Versions
The functions and settings in the RF domain depend on the versions of the installed
hardware assemblies, since several hardware components have been replaced by
improved modules.
Basically, the description in the manual refers to the latest versions of the hardware
assemblies, but points out settings that apply to earlier RF hardware versions.
The following sections however show the main changes in brief, with the current com-
ponents listed first, followed in descending order by the corresponding configuration of
earlier RF hardware versions.
For more information, see data sheet.
A.1 RF Assemblies and Options
The main focus of new RF hardware components is the synthesizer and RF frequency
components. In addition, new phase noise options and their impact on the signal
attenuation have also been improved.
The following table shows the differences. Options that are available for instruments
with the new RF hardware components and the earlier RF hardware versions are not
mentioned.
Remarks on high frequency options of RF path B:
●
Option R&S SMW-K720 (AM/FM/φM) is not available for R&S SMW-B2031/-
B2044(N).
An instrument equipped with these frequency options, turns off the signal genera-
tion in path B when you activate an analog modulation in path A.
●
Options R&S SMW-B2012/-B2031/-B2044(N) require a deeper housing of the
R&S SMW (R&S SMW-B94L), configured in the factory. Therefore, these options
are not retrofittable.
