The high-end R&S ZVA67 vector network analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz is now also available as a four-port model. This is the first network analyzer on the market to feature four test ports for measurements up to 67 GHz. Its high dynamic range (110 dB at 67 GHz) and output power (6 dBm at 67 GHz) give the R&S ZVA67 the flexibility and performance required for characterizing components and modules in the microwave and millimeter-wave range. It allow...

At the Mobile World Congress 2010, Rohde & Schwarz unveiled an extensive package of new features for the R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester launched in 2009. All the new features are aimed at delivering maximum flexibility for the mobile radio industry. The R&S CMW500 provides precisely what the customer needs, whether it is RF tests in signaling mode for CDMA2000® (1xRTT and 1xEV-DO), WiMAXTM and GSM, or measurements for implementin...

At the NAB trade show in Las Vegas, Rohde & Schwarz will highlight transmitter and T&M solutions for the ATSC Mobile DTV, ISDB-TB and DVB-T2 digital standards. Rohde & Schwarz recently scored an industry first when it successfully put into operation an ATSC Mobile DTV multiplexer and exciter fully-compliant with the final A/153 Mobile DTV standard at Sinclair Broadcast Group’s WNUV-DT station in Baltimore. The company is also involved in initia...

Verizon Wireless announced today that the company has selected Rohde & Schwarz as a provider of testing solutions for the certification of devices that will operate on the nationwide 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network Verizon Wireless is building on the Upper 700 MHz C-Block spectrum. Rohde & Schwarz will provide test platform solutions which include system simulators, channel simulators and software for automation. Any person or organization c...

Samsung, the Korean electronics manufacturer, is the first company worldwide to deliver USB modems for commercial LTE networks. To meet its production standards, the company is using test equipment from Rohde & Schwarz.

The Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) from Hong Kong has successfully verified its TD LTE Femto base stations using advanced test solutions provided by Rohde & Schwarz. In accordance with the latest 3GPP specification TS36.141, transmitter and receiver characteristics as well as receiver performance under fading conditions must be tested. As part of the verification process, the two companies tested the HARQ and timing-adv...

Rohde & Schwarz will put its T&M expertise on display in Barcelona with its complete product portfolio for new mobile radio and wireless technologies (hall 1, booth 1D33). Solutions for LTE, HSPA+ and WiMAX are available for both manufacturers and network operators and include everything from the measurements required during RF and protocol development through conformance testing, production and network optimization.

At productronica 2009, Rohde & Schwarz presented a flexibly configurable system solution for testing receivers in radar systems. Manufacturers and operators can use this application in development, production and service to simulate phase-coherent multichannel signals. The radar test system generates simple modulated or unmodulated pulse sequences and can also be expanded to a maximum of ten channels to create realistic scenarios.

At productronica 2009, Rohde & Schwarz presented the new signaling mode of the R&S CMW500 for production tests on wireless devices. The wideband radio communication tester simulates a wireless connection and then performs transmitter and receiver measurements. This makes the R&S CMW500 ideal both for signaling and non-signaling tests. Since both test concepts are used in production, the tester is a safe investment for manufacturers. As a flexibl...
