They are designed for demanding applications in the production and development of RF components, particularly in the mobile radio and electronic goods industries. The network...

Rohde & Schwarz has launched a DVB-C2 software coder for its R&S SFU signal generator. The coder enables manufacturers of broadcast receiver equipment and chipsets to perform standard-compliant tests on their products with DVB-C2 signals. Certification bodies and cable network operators can also use the new option. The R&S SFU already supports all common digital and analog radio and TV standards. Now it can handle all second-generation broadcast ...

Rohde & Schwarz is adding an EMI measurement application option for the R&S FSVR real-time spectrum analyzer and the R&S FSV signal and spectrum analyzer. The new R&S FSV-K54 option enables developers to use the analyzers for EMC diagnostic and precompliance measurements. Users in the communications and automobile industry, in service and test labs and in universities alike will all benefit from the analyzers' high measurement speed and sensitivi...

The R&S DVMS compact DTV monitoring system now supports monitoring and analysis of DVB-T2 signals. Two new options make the system the only solution on the market that combines all monitoring functions for DVB-T2 networks in a single instrument. Network operators can monitor both the DVB-T2 transmitter and the signal feed via the T2 modulator interface (T2-MI) without any additional equipment. Plus, the R&S DVMS supports the monitoring of single-...

Rohde & Schwarz FSC Spectrum Analysers have been selected by Sat-Comm as the default offering in their mid range and high end Satellite News Gathering (SNG) vehicles. The move also formalises Sat-Comm’s status as a formal Value Added Partner of Rohde & Schwarz UK. Sat-Comm, a UK-based systems integration specialist focused on SNG vehicle installations and Fly Aways – units that enable 24/7 transmission services from the field.

Rohde & Schwarz will put inspired engineering students to the test on the subject of radiomonitoring. Increasing radio density and ever complexer radio transmission methods confront this field with huge challenges. For the eighth time, the company, together with the German Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies (VDE), is organizing its international case study competition. Under the banner of Keep pace with the future...

Rohde & Schwarz has developed a unique method that accurately measures group delay and phase linearity on satellite links. With the new R&S ZVA-K10 software option, users can perform measurements using two network analyzers located at separate sites. In open-area tests, for example, the analyzers can bridge long distances between a transmitter and a receiver.

At ATC Global in Amsterdam, Rohde & Schwarz will present its first voice communications system for cockpit-tower communications. The fully IP-based R&S VCS-4G has an impressive technological edge: It enables the migration of ATC communications infrastructures to voice over IP. At the same time, this flexible system can be easily integrated into existing analog infrastructures.

Airports around the world are having to increase their capacity. Initiatives such as the European Commission's Single European Sky are driving the migration from analog and digital technologies to voice over IP (VoIP): VoIP is required for the harmonization of European airspace communications technology in order to achieve interoperability among ATC authorities. The technologically superior solutions from Rohde & Schwarz fulfill the requirements ...

Rohde & Schwarz and Nomor Research have collaborated on a cost-efficient, real-world solution for generating the uplink inter-cell interference signals required for testing LTE networks. Nomor Research’s system-level simulation realistically reproduces this interference as experienced by a multi-cell LTE base station.
