In collaboration with Broadcom Limited, the test and measurement company has successfully verified its market-leading R&S CMW test platform for the IEEE 802.11ax ecosystem, enabling wireless OEMs and ODMs to use Broadcom Max Wi-Fi chipsets for R&D, quality control, and produ...

At EMV 2018 in Dusseldorf (Feb 20-22), Rohde & Schwarz will present its customised solutions for EMC measurements in all areas of product development, from the R&D phase to certification. A turnkey test system for certification testing in line with RED as well as complete systems for immunity measurements will also be on display.

From April 1, 2018 onward, all newly registered cars and light trucks in the European Union must be equipped with the eCall automatic emergency system. An option released by Rohde & Schwarz for the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator together with test automation software delivers standard-compliant, fully automated performance tests for the GNSS receiver integrated in the eCall module.

The R&S CMW270 wireless connectivity tester emulates all IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards, including 802.11ax. In signalling mode, users can test the RF properties of WLAN stations under real-world conditions. Before now, the RF properties of WLAN stations (STA) were mainly tested in an artificial remote control operation, the non-signalling mode.

“Optimising the present. Designing the future.” is the theme for Rohde & Schwarz at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona (Feb 26-March 1). The company will showcase innovations to improve existing wireless technologies and demonstrate brand new solutions for 5G R&D and standardisation.

A firmware option for 5G New Radio (NR) downlink signal analysis has been announced by Rohde & Schwarz. The firmware option for the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyser enables verification of signals for base stations, as well as component testing of 5G power amplifiers.

High voltage differential probes from Rohde & Schwarz are designed for complex measurements on state-of-the-art power electronics with voltages up to 6000V. The R&S RT-ZHD probes offer a measurement bandwidth of up to 200MHz, a high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and DC measurement accuracy of 0.5%.

Power supply quality is a key factor in the functionality and performance of sensitive electronic circuits. Embedded designs with incorporated RF modules face the additional risk that RF signals are coupled onto the power rails of sensitive electronic components such as microprocessors, fast memory components and sensitive analogue circuits, impairing the functionality of the device.  

Three oscilloscope series, the R&S RTC1000, R&S RTM3000 and R&S RTA4000 will be debuted by Rohde & Schwarz at embedded world 2018 in Nuremberg (February 27-March 1). These oscilloscopes are equipped with cutting-edge technology, a smartphone-like touchscreen and many more features.

Two additions to the Rohde & Schwarz portfolio of oscilloscopes will be looking to catch the eye of research and development laboratories looking for an instrument to undertake debug and analysis. The R&S RTM3000 oscilloscope offers bandwidths of 100MHz, 200MHz, 350MHz, 500MHz and 1GHz.

The educational and hobbyist market will be the targets for Rohde & Schwarz’s R&S RTC1000 oscilloscope series which is available from today (January 16).The oscilloscope has been developed to meet the growing demand for more functions in one instrument.

From April 1, 2018 onward, car manufacturers are required to equip new vehicles for sale in the EU with an eCall module. In the event of a serious accident, this emergency call system automatically sends data to the uniform European emergency phone number 112 to facilitate faster response by emergency services.

Digital TV receiving equipment and terrestrial tuner chipset manufacturers can now test the performance of their products for compliance with the ATSC 3.0 standard using only a single unit. To do so, Rohde & Schwarz offers an ATSC 3.0 real-time coder and a waveform testing library for its R&S BTC broadcast test centre.

To cope with today’s demanding radar signal simulations, ultralong playtimes are needed in order to simulate realistic radar environments. Pulse sequences are calculated pulse by pulse and streamed as PDWs to an RF signal source. This avoids long calculation times and saves memory space in the signal generator.

The video shows typical NB-IoT use cases and discusses the biggest challenge in NB-IoT networks: coverage. What methods are used to increase the coverage in DL and UL direction?

This video from Rohde and Schwarz demonstrates precise power consumption measurements on an LTE-M (Cat-M1) device as example.

Based on the R&S CMW platform, the latest version of the Rohde & Schwarz’s CMW100 communications manufacturing test set is preparing the industry for 5G new radio (NR) sub-6 GHz devices. Rohde & Schwarz is enabling the testing and validation of sub-6 GHz 3GPP 5G new radio (NR) based devices.

R&S QPS200 millimetre wave technology developed by Rohde & Schwarz has achieved TSA Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) detection certification. TSA certification validates that the R&S QPS200 meets TSA’s stringent aviation security detection requirements. The R&S QPS200 security scanner uses safe millimetre wave radio frequency technology to screen passengers automatically for concealed threats while protecting passengers&rsq...
