This unit
The Rohde & Schwarz SME02 is a synthesized signal generator spanning 5 kHz to 1.5 GHz, engineered for development and testing of digital mobile radio receivers and RF systems. It generates signals compliant with major digital radio standards while supporting both digital and analog modulation in a single instrument. The SME02 delivers output power from -144 dBm to +13 dBm with spectral purity better than -30 dBc, making it suitable for sensitive receiver characterization and component validation.
Technical Specifications

Rohde & Schwarz SME02 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Rohde & Schwarz SME02. 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 SME02 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.
