Rohde & Schwarz will roll out a broad platform of test solutions for advanced technologies at electronica in Munich (November 8-11). These will include fifth-generation mobile radio (5G) and wireless gigabit, along with state-of-the-art test systems for embedded designs and automotive systems.

London City Airport (LCY) has successfully introduced a state-of-the-art millimetre-wave full-body scanner which will help further increase the speed of security screening and detection at the airport. The Quick Personnel Security scanner R&S QPS200 from Rohde & Schwarz completes a scan in just a few seconds and automatically detects potentially dangerous items.

The new R&S RTx-K76 CXPI serial triggering and decoding option from Rohde & Schwarz allows users to analyse the clock extension peripheral interface (CXPI) communications bus with R&S RTE and R&S RTO oscilloscopes. Users can decode all protocol details and isolate anomalies by triggering on the corresponding details. This significantly accelerates design verification and implementation of CXPI interfaces.

The Certification Center Svyaz-Certificate in Russia exclusively uses the GNSS simulator in the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator for the new performance tests on ERA-Glonass emergency call systems in line with the Russian GOST R 55534 specification. The R&S SMBV100A is already used in the conformance test solution consisting of an R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester, GNSS simulator and the associated application softwar...

Rohde & Schwarz has successfully demonstrated the generation and analysis of 5G signals based on the characteristics as specified in the Verizon open trial specifications. The R&S SMW200A vector signal generator and the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyser both provide outstanding test and measurement capabilities, resulting in an EVM performance of 1 % when applying these 5G signals.

The R&S ZNBT is a true multiport vector network analyser from Rohde & Schwarz. It can be used for testing complex multiport devices or multiple devices under test in parallel.

Until recently, radar sensor development was one of the automotive industry’s last remaining electronics fields without realistic lab and production testing. That is about to change, as Lutz Fischer, Product Manager Complementary Products, and Udo Reil, Product Manager Customer Solutions, Rohde & Schwarz explain.

Mobile communications and consumer devices require ever faster interfaces to transmit and process the continually increasing volumes of multimedia data. For this purpose, the MIPI Alliance has defined the MIPI M-PHY standard, a physical interface with versatile applications. A new, easy-to-use triggering and decoding option for the Rohde & Schwarz R&S RTO2000 oscilloscope now fully supports developers during startup and debugging of devic...

Rohde & Schwarz and Promate have entered a long-term collaboration on an important material group by signing a global framework agreement for the development and delivery of display solutions. Displays, which increasingly include touch functionality, represent an important human-machine interface for end-users of test & measurement and communications equipment.

Rohde & Schwarz and Promate have expressed the mutual interest for a long-term collaboration on an important material group by signing a global framework agreement for the development and delivery of display solutions. Displays, which increasingly include touch functionality, represent an important human-machine interface for end-users of test & measurement and communications equipment.

The frequency range of the Rohde & Schwarz R&S ZNBT multiport vector network analyser has been extended up to 20 GHz. The analyser, with a starting frequency of 100 kHz and up to 16 integrated test ports, offers fast sweep times and excellent RF performance. It is a true multiport vector network analyser and can drive all ports in parallel without the need for internal switching.

Microdrones, that fly above prohibited areas are an increasing security risk. R&S ARDRONIS enables users to identify drone control signals early on, locate and even stop the drone.

Six RF conformance test cases for LTE-capable high-power user equipment (HPUE) have been validated by Rohde & Schwarz, allowing the certification of such devices to start. The R&S TS8980 test system is the first and so far only test system that covers these tests for LTE band 14 public safety networks.

The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) relies on the mobile network testing technology from Rohde & Schwarz. With QualiPoc Remote Control measurement probes, CERN monitors its mobile network and consequently ensures that some 6000 employees are reachable by mobile phone 24/7 - both below and above the ground.

The Rohde & Schwarz R&S SFD DOCSIS signal generator delivers signals in line with the DOCSIS 3.1 transmission standard in real time. This enables cable network operators and component manufacturers to quickly and easily check whether their networks and/or equipment satisfy DOCSIS 3.1 requirements. This one-channel signal generator is extremely compact and highly customisable thanks to its software options concept.

A competition has been launched to find the most innovative use for the recently announced Rohde & Schwarz Scope Rider, a rugged portable oscilloscope with lab performance. Ten shortlisted entrants will each receive a GoPro Hero4 silver camera to make a video of their idea, and the overall winner will receive a R&S Scope Rider.

The new R&S FSVA is a new addition to the Rohde & Schwarz portfolio of midrange signal and spectrum analysers. It offers a 160MHz analysis bandwidth over its entire frequency range, with an ability to do so at frequencies between 26.5GHz and 40GHz. With its enhanced phase noise performance, the instrument offers users very high accuracy in spectral measurements on narrowband modulated signals and in phase noise measurements.

Today's connected cars include an increasing number of communications applications, including wireless applications for infotainment, driver assistance systems, emergency and intelligent transport systems and interfaces for embedded systems. To demonstrate its expertise in this area of testing, Rohde & Schwarz will be showcasing its R&S FSW85 high-end signal and spectrum analyser, including the analysis option for FMCW chirp signals at th...

The R&S TS8980 RF conformance test system from Rohde & Schwarz has achieved the world's first validation for both LTE-Advanced uplink carrier aggregation (UL CA) and LTE-Advanced Pro uplink 64QAM (UL 64QAM). RF conformance is a critical part of device certification as specified by the Global Certification Forum GCF.
