This unit
The Rohde & Schwarz SML02 is a synthesized signal generator delivering precise RF signal generation from 9 kHz to 2.2 GHz. It combines fine frequency resolution of 0.1 Hz with output levels spanning −140 dBm to +13 dBm, making it suitable for RF testing, system integration, and laboratory measurement work. The instrument features analog modulation (AM, FM, ØM), pulse modulation, and optional digital modulation capabilities, along with frequency and level sweep modes.
External modulation inputs and triggered sweep operation support flexible automated test sequences.

Rohde & Schwarz SML02 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Rohde & Schwarz SML02. 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 SML02 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.
