This unit
The Rohde & Schwarz SMT02 is a benchtop signal generator covering 5 kHz to 1.5 GHz with output power from −144 dBm to +16 dBm (±1 dB accuracy). It delivers high signal purity, programmable sweep functions, and multiple modulation modes
AM, FM, phase, and pulse - making it ideal for RF component development, receiver measurements, and EMC testing. The instrument features 0.1 Hz frequency resolution, 25 ms switching time, and optional OCXO time base stability below 1 × 10⁻⁹/day.
A large backlit LCD display and IEEE 488 SCPI interface enable straightforward benchtop operation and automated test sequences.

Rohde & Schwarz SMT02 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Rohde & Schwarz SMT02. 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 SMT02 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.
