This unit
The Rohde & Schwarz SMR30 is a microwave signal generator spanning 10 MHz to 30 GHz, engineered for research, development, and production test environments requiring high spectral purity and low phase noise. The base platform delivers CW generation with pulse modulation and digital frequency sweep, expandable through optional modules to include AM/FM modulation, phase modulation, FSK, and ASK capabilities. Its crystal reference oscillator ensures frequency stability, while advanced fractional-N synthesis and microwave filtering deliver excellent harmonic suppression.
High-precision, frequency-response-compensated level control operates across a dynamic range extending to –130 dBm with optional RF attenuators. The compact design supports both laboratory and field deployment.

Rohde & Schwarz SMR30 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Rohde & Schwarz SMR30. 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 SMR30 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.
