Rohde & Schwarz Flexible reference input (1 MHz to 100 MHz), frequency option R&S®SMM-B10xx required (software license)
The Rohde & Schwarz Flexible reference input (1 MHz to 100 MHz), part number 1441.1318.02, is an option designed for the R&S®SMM100A vector signal generator. This hardware option enables the instrument to accept an external reference frequency input in the range of 1 MHz to 100 MHz, enhancing synchronization capabilities with other test equipment or systems. The option requires the presence of a corresponding frequency software license (R&S®SMM-B10xx) to activate its functionality. This feature is particularly useful in applications demanding precise frequency alignment and phase coherence, such as advanced communications testing and research environments. The flexible reference input ensures stable and accurate signal generation by allowing the SMM100A to lock to an external frequency standard, thereby improving measurement reliability and system integration.
