2.4.9 RF and Analog Modulations ("RF" Block)
The "RF" block represents the RF settings of the instrument.
This block is the access point to:
●
RF frequency and level settings, as well as the reference frequency, local oscillator,
user correction, etc.
●
The analog modulations
●
The list and sweep modes
2.4.10 Applications Examples of the R&S SMBV100B
The R&S SMBV100B can be optimally adapted to the requirements of different appli-
cations:
●
Generation of digitally modulated signal
The main field of application of the R&S SMBV100B is the generation of digitally
modulated signals. The R&S SMBV100B generates a digitally modulated signal in
several ways: using the internal baseband generator, using the externally applied
digital baseband signals or in an analog wideband I/Q operation.
●
Generation of a wanted signal or an interfering signal for receiver tests
●
Generation of signals with up to 500 MHz signal bandwidth

2.5.1 Possible Ways to Operate the Instrument
There are three ways to operate the R&S SMBV100B:
●
Manual operation:
Use the touchscreen, hard keys and rotary knob, or an optional mouse and/or key-
board.
The description under Chapter 2.5, "Instrument Control", on page 73 shows how to
operate the instrument manually.
