SMW Improved EVM Performance

Introducing the K575 option

What if you need reliable and repeatable EVM performance at higher output levels to understand what is happening in your DUT?

The new K575 RF linearization option delivers significant EVM performance enhancements. For example, for a 100 MHz 5G NR signal in line with the 3GPP TM3.1 at 3.5GHz, and an output power of 10dBm, the K575 option can improve EVM performance by 8dB. This not only offers you greater insights into your device, but also ensures that your critical RF path linearization measurements meet modern test requirements.

Importantly, if you have a R&S®SMW200A or R&S®SMM100A you can benefit from the K575 option without needing to purchase new equipment, minimizing costs while remaining future proof.
