Very high uncompromising output power

Large dynamic range, excellent level accuracy and level repeatability 

Very high output power is often required in the microwave frequency range because the higher the frequency, the more attenuation. The R&S®SMA100B offers different output power stages to compensate for such losses. As a result, no downstream external amplifier is required. Exceptionally high output power levels (measured values)

• Ultra high output power up to 38 dBm with the 6 GHz instrument
• Over 30 dBm at 18 GHz and 28 dBm at 20 GHz with the 20 GHz instrument
• Over 30 dBm between 20 GHz and 36 GHz with the 40 GHz instrument
• Over 22 dBm between 40 GHz and 65 GHz with the 67 GHz instrument
