Strengthening its position in WLAN signalling testing Rohde & Schwarz has unveiled the R&S CMW270 wireless connectivity tester which allows developers to test the RF characteristics of WLAN 2x2 MIMO stations in line with the IEEE 802.11ax standard.

A variety of its latest wireless mobile testing solutions will be showcased by Rohde & Schwarz at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (February 25-28). The company’s portfolio covers the entire mobile lifecycle from design, R&D, conformance testing and manufacturing to deployment and operation, including network and mobile endpoint security.

With its frequency range up to 40GHz, manufacturers of active and passive components can use the R&S ZNBT40 vector network analyser from Rohde & Schwarz for a wide variety of multi-antenna communications systems (MIMO, SISO, MISO), including radar systems for the A&D sector.

At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (February 25-28), Rohde & Schwarz will showcase a setup that enables 3D RF measurements of antenna characteristics in a temperature range from –20 °C to +85 °C. Integrating the R&S ATS-TEMP climate option into an R&S ATS1000 antenna test system makes it possible to combine testing in an RF OTA chamber and climatic chamber testing into a single procedure, saving engineers measurement ...

Three Rohde & Schwarz QPS201 scanners have been installed in the security hall at Edinburgh airport, providing a significant increase in scan rate – reducing wait times for passengers, enhancing security and readying the airport for the future introduction of 100% scanning.

GMIT will be fully integrated into Rohde & Schwarz by the end of January 2019 and retroactively to July 1, 2018. The move allows Rohde & Schwarz to reinforce its commitment to digital products. The focal points are the R&S PRISMON audio/video content monitoring and multiviewer solution and the R&S RelayCaster IP contribution solution.

Analysing the frequency response of a device, using Bode plots, is available now for selected Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes. With a new software option, users can analyse the response to frequency changes from 10Hz up to 25MHz without any additional piece of equipment and at a fraction of the price of dedicated solutions.

The R&S NGL200 power supply series introduced by Rohde & Schwarz specifically addresses users in the mobile communications and IoT sectors. The single-channel R&S NGL201 and the two-channel R&S NGL202 deliver up to 60W of output power per channel.

The R&S ZNA high-end vector network analyser, a powerful, universal test platform for characterising active and passive DUTs has been launched by Rohde & Schwarz. The two models R&S ZNA26 (10MHz to 26.5GHz) and R&S ZNA43 (10MHz to 43.5GHz) offer a dynamic range of 146dB (typ.) and a trace noise as low as 0.001dB at 1kHz IF bandwidth.  

Test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz and semiconductor manufacturer Marvell have demonstrated successfully, for the first time ever, all the 1000BASE-T1 compliance test cases for layer 1 (PHY). Using validated chipsets from Marvell and test equipment from Rohde & Schwarz, OEMs, Tier2, System Integrators and test houses can set up Automotive Ethernet networks that are fully compliant with 1000BASE-T1 specifications.

Test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz, telecommunications service provider China Mobile and mobile platform provider MediaTek have successfully carried out a technical trial of a 5G prototype terminal. The main purpose was to verify the signal characteristics and propagation of the mmWave terminal in different environments, both indoors and outdoors, and to investigate the effect that beam tracking and array antenna switching have o...

As part of the 5G expert days at Rohde & Schwarz's headquarters in Munich, the host company, along with Anokiwave and iBwave, partnered to plan, implement and measure an indoor 5G NR network. The network was created on an experimental frequency license for mmWave at 26GHz.

Project partners Rohde & Schwarz and Kathrein have reached two important milestones of the 5G TODAY research project. On December 4, a Rohde & Schwarz transmitter successfully went into operation at Bayerischer Rundfunk’s (BR) Wendelstein transmitter station.

Cellular-based 5G V2X latency measurements in vehicular environments have been successfully conducted by Rohde & Schwarz and Huawei in field tests in Munich and Shanghai. The initial measurements have shown that it is possible to achieve delays in the millisecond regime in a 5G network, demonstrating a superior latency performance in comparison to LTE.

Without an LTE connection, there is no 5G NR connection possible.

NTT DOCOMO and Rohde & Schwarz have joined forces set up what is said to be the world's first ultra-wideband channel sounder for mobile communications exceeding 100GHz. They conducted radio wave propagation experiments at frequencies up to 150GHz.

Demystifying EMC 2019 will feature presentations on subjects from CISPR standardisation work to BREXIT. The event, which is hosted by Rohde & Schwarz, will take place on 28 January 2019 at Silverstone. Participants will receive updates on regulations and standards, brush up on good practice in circuit design, see practical demonstrations – and IET members will be able to collect CPD points.
