IoT solutions provider Sierra Wireless has selected the compact antenna test range (CATR)-based R&S ATS1800C for mmWave frequencies (FR2) testing. The transportable solution from Rohde & Schwarz features a golden CATR reflector with rolled edges and a very smooth surface to minimise scattering and to provide precise measurement results as required for operation at high frequencies.

The Demystifying EMC 2020 seminar organised by Rohde & Schwarz will feature an improved format with five presentation tracks covering a wide range of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) topics. The seminar will take place on February 10, 2020 at Silverstone Circuit, Northamptonshire, UK.

Over the past decades the introduction of seat belts, airbags, and vehicle crumple zones have made a massive contribution to saving lives on our roads, writes Holger Rosier of Rohde & Schwarz. Today’s advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and future autonomous driving solutions will go some way to further driving down the number of incidents on our highways, but they remain limited in their impact without access to the collective in...

In recent years radar has established itself as a technology of increasing importance within the vehicle. Thanks to the efforts of the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP), assistance systems such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) are reflected in vehicle safety scores. This, along with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and other technologies, rely upon at least one long-range radar and will utilise further short-range radars.

Rohde & Schwarz has licensed Qualcomm Technologies’ Interface Control Document for 5G. It describes the unique messages that come from the Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System.

The Global Certification Forum GCF and PTCRB certification organisation have accepted first test case validations in various FR1 and LTE band combinations using the new 5G RF conformance test system R&S TS8980FTA-3A from Rohde & Schwarz .

While the new 5G technology is at the first stages of rollout, Rohde & Schwarz, the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institute, HHI and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF are taking a step further with demonstrations in the terahertz (THz) frequency band, related to the 6th generation wireless mobile communication (6G).

The market for small consumer drones is booming. However, these inexpensive and easy-to-fly devices bring safety and security issues. The Rohde & Schwarz (R&S) ARDRONIS drone monitoring system helps businesses, government authorities and critical infrastructures to protect against drone misuse.

When designing circuits with DDR3 SDRAM modules, developers need solutions for checking the signal integrity on high-speed data lines. The new R&SRTO-K91/ R&SRTP-K91 oscilloscope option offers several tools - decoding of read and write cycles, display and analysis of eye patterns, and automated compliance testing for the DDR3, DDR3L and LPDDR3 standards.

Rohde & Schwarz has posted full year sales of 2.4bn Euro, an uptick of 4.9$ compared with the previous year. Incoming orders rose by 10.6% to 2.45bn Euro. The company worldwide headcount climbed from 11,500 to around 12,100 in the 12 months from July 2018 to June 2019.

productronica is a home fixture for Munich-based Rohde & Schwarz and the company will field an array of solutions covering Industry 4.0, test and measurement for production and development, and automatic production test systems.

The flexibility of Automotive Ethernet makes the simple twisted-pair network technology ideal for an ever-increasing range of in-vehicle networks. With that in mind Rohde & Schwarz has introduced the first 10BASE-T1S compliance test available, for the R&S RTO and R&S RTP oscilloscopes, which will provide fully automated testing conforming to the current version of IEEE 802.3cg 10BASE-T1S interfaces.

Test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz has supplied mobile network testing tools used in drone-based network coverage, performance and operation tests managed by Ericsson. The procedure enables 3D accessibility, positional accuracy and repeatability of the testing.

With new 13GHz and 16GHz models, the R&S RTP high-performance oscilloscope family is now scalable from the 4GHz minimum up to the full 16GHz bandwidth. Additional new highlights are powerful debugging functions such as the high-speed serial pattern trigger using hardware-based clock-data-recovery (CDR) up to 16 Gbps, or the DDR4 signal integrity and compliance test.

Under the motto “Accelerate design. Maximise performance.”, Rohde & Schwarz will cover a number of topics that are currently shaping the industry at European Microwave Week in Paris. The demos range from testing components and modules for 5G NR, SatCom, automotive, radar and EW applications to applications in the mmWave range up to the THz range.

Rohde & Schwarz collaborated with Vector, Savari and Quectel to successfully present an application layer test solution for 3GPP C-V2X Release 14, specifically aimed at the growing Chinese market. This integrated test platform was presented at the Mobile World Congress in Shanghai 2019.

In collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz has successfully verified an A-GPS control-plane LPP test session over 5G NR using a device powered by the Snapdragon X55 5G modem and Qualcomm RF Front-end solutions.

With the R&S NGM200, Rohde & Schwarz has extended its range of specialised power supplies. The models of the R&S NGM200 series offer new features which make them ideal for developing battery-powered equipment operating at up to 20V and drawing currents up to 6A.

The battery simulation function of the R&S NGM200 makes it possible to simulate the real output performance of different battery types.

Rohde & Schwarz is collaborating with COMPRION to supply telecommunication solution providers with a method for testing remote SIM provisioning (RSP) of embedded UICCs (eSIMs) required for Industry 4.0 and connected car applications.
