The level of integration of 5G base stations in the FR1 frequency range is increasing, as a new generation of base stations, designated the 1-O type, is becoming more and more common. The 1-O type base stations operate at FR1 frequency range and they have antenna arrays with integrated transceivers, without any access to internal RF ports.

Rohde & Schwarz UK has announced a two-day automotive insights event taking place in conjunction with Warwick University. The collaborative Automotive Tech event with Warwick Manufacturing Group will take place as a series of webinars on 5th and 6th May 2021.

The new K88 option for R&S RTO and R&S RTP oscilloscopes from Rohde & Schwarz enables compliance testing on the next evolution of the automotive Ethernet standard. The new IEEE 802.3ch standard addresses the need for high-speed networking and data transfers within the car.

The R&S ZNA high-end vector network analyser (VNA) now features models with 50GHz and 67GHz maximum frequencies. This opens up the VNA’s outstanding RF performance, unique hardware concept and innovative touch operation to new areas of application. Signal integrity measurements as well as A&D and 5G component and module characterisation are main applications for the new analyser models.

Raydiall Automotive have been developing, together with their Japanese partner Yazaki, various automotive ethernet components, such as Single Pair Ethernet connectors, for the link segment (communication channel) section. Such components are cable assemblies (cable harness and connectors), PCB headers, in-line connectors and the standalone communication channel (SCC).

Ever-higher operating frequencies for components and devices have led to something of a crisis of confidence in their test and measurement veracity. Fortunately, new solutions giving a trustworthy calibration along with verification standards are now available to provide a higher level of assurance for designers, manufacturers and their customers. In this latest podcast (accessible at the bottom of this page), Jamie Lunn, Product Manager for...

Rohde & Schwarz has announced details of an upcoming Oscilloscope Days seminar event for 2021.

Rohde & Schwarz has joined the FiRa Consortium as an associate member. FiRa, short for ‘fine ranging’, is an organisation dedicated to growing the UWB ecosystem by ensuring interoperability between multiple devices through compliance and certification programs.

Rohde & Schwarz is providing high performance network scanners to Industrial Radio Lab (IRL) Dresden to explore reliable and resilient wireless technologies for industrial applications.

Rohde & Schwarz is continuing its mission to meet all test and design engineers demands with a new range of source measure units (SMUs)

Manufacturers of 5G devices wishing to test the whole frequency range possible, expect to do so with a single signal generator for both 5G NR FR1 and FR2 frequencies. The new R&S SMM100A vector signal generator meets this need, displaying RF characteristics across the entire frequency range from 100MHz to 44GHz.

Rohde & Schwarz has installed a personnel scanner at Kerry Airport, Farranfore, Ireland, delivering technology that enables a high throughput, enhanced security, and increased safety for airport customers and staff. The airport has chosen the latest model, the latest generation R&S Quick Personnel Security (QPS) QPS201 launched earlier in 2020, becoming the first Rohde & Schwarz security scanner installation in Ireland.

The flexibility of automotive Ethernet makes the simple twisted-pair network technology well suited for an ever-increasing range of in-vehicle networks. In order to verify, commission and troubleshoot designs based on an automotive Ethernet communication link, it is important to have an instrument that is capable of not only measuring and verifying compliance to the standards but also decoding the messages and reliably triggering on them.

FMCW radars are extremely wideband at the analogue transmitting and receiving ends. Until recently, the up to 4GHz analysis bandwidths necessary for their validation were only available in oscilloscopes. Now they are also available in the R&SFSW signal and spectrum analyser. Unlike the Uhnder RoC, which was the first automotive radar to use digitally modulated signals, Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radars are state of the art.&nb...

Rohde & Schwarz has published the program for Demystifying EMC 2021, happening for the first time as an all-digital event.E

Rohde & Schwarz has enhanced its R&S QAR quality automotive radome tester, a tailored solution for radar integration testing to analyse and evaluate the radar compatibility of radomes and bumpers.

The R&S SMM100A vector signal generator from Rohde & Schwarz has been enhanced with mmWave testing capabilities.

Ireland’s first Quick Personnel Security (QPS) scanner has been installed by Rohde & Schwarz at Kerry Airport, Farranfore.

Rohde & Schwarz has increased the maximum measurable frequency of its three-path diode power sensors to 67 GHz.
