THE SIGNAL HOUND SM200B: REAL-TIME SPECTRUM ANALYZER & MONITORING
RECEIVER DESIGNED TO ACCURATELY PENETRATE DENSE SIGNAL
ENVIRONMENTS—FAST AND EFFICIENTLY
The Signal Hound SM200B is a 20GHz real-time spectrum analyzer.
This spectrum analyzer is where high performance, speed, accuracy,
agility and security meet very low cost.
Excellent for 5G protocol component prototyping, verification of
in-band and out of-band emissions, radar pulse analysis and more.
The SM200B is a high-performance spectrum analyzer and monitoring
receiver. Tuning from 100 kHz to 20GHz, the analyzer has 160 MHz of
instantaneous bandwidth (IBW), 110 dB of dynamic range, 1THz/sec
sweep speed at 30kHz RBW (using Nuttall windowing), and phase noise
performance that is low enough to contribute less than 0.1% error
to EVM measurements and rival even the most expensive spectrum
analyzers on the market.
The SM200B offers 160 MHz instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) calibrated
I/Q capture, available through block transfer of a 2-second I/Q
buffer over USB 3.0 to the PC (learn more about this feature).
Signal processing is distributed between a very powerful Altera
FPGA and an external PC having an Intel Core i5 processor. The
Signal Hound SM200B can be readily interfaced, using its local API,
to an automated monitoring system or to automated test equipment.
The SM200B API provides customers the access needed to insert their
own DSP algorithms into a calibrated stream of I/Q data.
