At just two height units (2 HU), the compact FPS takes up only half as much rack space as a conventional spectrum analyser.   

Rohde & Schwarz is strengthening its commitment to machine to machine (M2M) communications and the Internet of Things (IoT) by joining the M2M Alliance. Rohde & Schwarz supports these users by providing T&M equipment for almost all mobile, wireless and positioning technologies, from LTE/LTE-Advanced, UMTS/HSPA(+), CDMA2000, Bluetooth and WLAN wireless Internet access to GPS/Galileo.     

Rohde & Schwarz has released the R&S ZNBT, a network analyser with 24 integrated test ports. The instrument allows users to characterise devices under test with multiple test ports and enables production lines to maintain high throughput by measuring multiple DUTs in parallel. The instrument also offers the high RF performance of a two-port network analyser at each of its test ports.  

For VoLTE testing, Rohde & Schwarz presented a new solution that simultaneously verifies voice quality and analyzes how a VoLTE connection affects the lifetime of smartphone batteries at the GSMA Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona. The R&S®CMW500 monitors the current drain over time during the VoLTE connection, while the R&S®UPV audio analyzer analyzes the audio quality based on POLQA algorithms. The solution is fully aut...

Rohde & Schwarz has expanded the application field of its R&S RTO oscilloscopes to include Ethernet interface testing. The new R&S RTO-K22 and R&S RTO-K23 Ethernet compliance options allow users to perform standard-compliant automated tests on 10/100/1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T Ethernet interfaces. All compliance tests meet IEEE and ANSI Ethernet test specifications.  

Rohde & Schwarz now offers up to 10 kW of power in a frequency range from 9 kHz to 225 MHz with its R&S BBL200 amplifier family. Thanks to a new liquid cooling system, these models are quieter and more compact than ever before. The high output power of the amplifier family makes the models ideal for EMS tests where high field strengths are required.

Rohde & Schwarz is looking to increase its penetration of the mainstream and fast growing segment of the oscilloscope market. At embedded world 2014 it launched the RTE which is available with bandwidths ranging from 200MHz to 1GHz. It features an acquisition rate of more than one million waveforms per second for faster identification of signal faults.

Rohde & Schwarz will showcase the R&S TSME – a new, ultracompact drive test scanner for today's and tomorrow’s wireless communications standards and frequency bands. It measures 151m x 47mm x 93mm and weighs just 650g. It also consumes very little power, making it a solution for testing the quality of communications channels in the field as well as inside buildings where high data traffic presents a difficult set of problems.&...

Rohde & Schwarz will debut its compact eCall test solution for in-vehicle emergency call systems at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (Feb24-27). The setup consists of the R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester and the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator with integrated global navigation satellite system (GNSS) simulator.

Rohde & Schwarz has developed a compact, configurable single-box solution for testing the various aspects of LTE-WLAN traffic offload. Based on the R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester, the multistandard platform not only tests the terminal equipment of all common wireless communications standards, it also emulates an appropriate connection for a WLAN test. Rohde & Schwarz uses this feature for its single-box solution for t...

In the third part of the Rohde & Schwarz webinar series on LTE UE RF measurements, we will discuss the details of carrier aggregation, its different types and its impact on how to test a device that supports carrier aggregation. Emphasis will be on receiver testing using the R&S®CMW500 wideband radio communication tester.

Explore the benefits of multistandard realtime analysis to discover erroneous signals on radar transmitter signals using the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz.

Rohde & Schwarz is now offering a 500MHz analysis bandwidth on its FSW high-end signal and spectrum analysers. The new R&S FSW-B500 hardware option is now available for all analysers in the FSW family and can be used for measurements in a frequency range up to 67GHz. This opens up new applications for the signal and spectrum analyser in research and development.  

Rohde & Schwarz will highlight its growing oscilloscope portfolio at the Embedded World exhibition in Nuremberg (Feb 25-27).  Tailored to the demands of testing and developing electronic circuits, the new models in the R&S RTM family integrate time domain, logic, protocol and frequency analysis in a single device.

Rohde & Schwarz ‘s R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator now has BeiDou/Compass capability in its integrated GNSS simulator. With this option the simulator now covers the BeiDou standard as well as the GPS, Galileo and Glonass satellite navigation systems. With this option the simulator now covers the BeiDou standard as well as the GPS, Galileo and Glonass satellite navigation systems.  

Test solutions which specifically need to distribute large current loads used to rely on expensive power switching devices. The new TS-PSM3 from Rhode & Schwarz offers automotive manufacturers a different solution: a configurable power switching module that is fully integrated into the PXI-based R&S TSVP test system. The TS-PSM3 replaces auxiliary switching devices and is suitable for loads up to 30 A.

Rohde & Schwarz introduced a configurable power switching module at productronica that is fully integrated into the PXI-based R&S TSVP test system. It replaces auxiliary switching devices and is suitable for loads up to 30 A.  It integrates the switching of high-current DUTs into the test and measurement company’s TSVP base unit.

Rohde & Schwarz used the productronica exhibition in Munich to debut the R&S ZN-Z84, an external switch matrix designed to complement the company’s ZNB network analyser. The matrix covers the frequency range from 10 MHz to 8.5 GHz, and the base model is equipped with six test ports.
