(Option 1) 

Power Consumption

  

 22 watts (when idling) or 32 watts (when sweeping or 
streaming I/Q) sourced from the AC wall adapter which 
is included or from an external supply of 9V to 16V when 
using the Option-12 LEMO Pigtail. 

1

Dynamic Range is defined here as ⅔ of the difference between IP

3

 and DANL as measured in ITU-R 

SM.1837, normalized to dB/Hz 

2

For EVM measurements of signals having symbol rates between 100 kHz and 1MHz.  The SM200A/B 

will contribute a somewhat higher EVM error for symbol rates outside of this range.  

4

Streaming I/Q and burst I/Q are bandwidth limited to the speed of the available Ethernet connection.   

5

DANL, Residual Responses, Spurious Mixer Responses, and Phase Noise specifications are production 

tested and guaranteed only at 23°C (±5°C).  Typical performance of these characteristics, over the 
instrument’s operating temperature range, will be published as graphs in the User’s Manual. 

6

The SM200 

length is 10.97” (0.77” longer) when counting the front panel type-N RF input connector and 

0.375” higher when counting feet.
