T
his performance test describes the steps for testing the R&S SMB Signal Generator family and the
installed options with respect to function and compliance with specifications.
In the following, the term DUT (Device under Test) is used for any signal generator of this family. The
tests to be performed depend on the installed options. The values are given in the data sheet of the
respective instrument.
