  • Page 9: About The Bandwidth Extension Option

    For more information, see data sheet. 2.2 About Bandwidth Extension Equipped with option R&S SMW-K555, the R&S SMW allows you to extend band- widths of I/Q modulated signals. A practical approach is to superimpose RF signals with center frequencies close to each other. The bandwidths of the modulated base- band signal overlap.
