This unit
The Rohde & Schwarz SMB100N is a compact RF signal generator delivering precise signal generation across 9 kHz to 1.1 GHz. Built for R&D, production, and service environments, it combines output power to +30 dBm with exceptional phase noise of −122 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, meeting demanding measurement requirements in RF and microwave testing.
Technical Specifications
- Frequency Range: 9 kHz to 1.1 GHz
- Output Power: Up to +30 dBm

Typical Applications The SMB100N serves receiver testing, filter characterization, transceiver alignment, and subsystem validation where signal purity and repeatable modulation are essential. Its modulation suite and level control precision make it suitable for production test environments requiring both flexibility and consistency.
Rohde & Schwarz SMB100N — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Rohde & Schwarz SMB100N. Calibration covers output frequency accuracy, output power level accuracy across the full frequency range, AM/FM/PM/pulse modulation accuracy, harmonic and spurious output levels, and phase noise floor verification. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Rohde & Schwarz SMB100N faults: YIG oscillator failure (no output or loss of lock), step attenuator wear (output drops or steps at set attenuation), ALC loop failure (uncontrolled output power), I/Q modulator assembly failure. HP/Agilent 836xx series most common faults are YIG oscillator failure and step attenuator contact wear causing output steps or drops at specific attenuation settings. Keysight E4428C/E4438C units most commonly develop ALC loop failure and I/Q modulator assembly faults. YIG oscillator replacement and attenuator service are stocked repairs.
