EuMW 2014: Radar target simulator eyes automotive market
Rohde & Schwarz chose European Microwave Week to take the wraps off an agreement to sell the ARTS turnkey radar target simulator from ITS and miro-sys. The market target is automotive radar now being installed in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), to quickly and precisely measure the speed and distance of multiple objects, regardless of weather conditions.
EuMW2014:Power sensors span -70dBm to +26dBm dynamic range
Keysight Technologies’ U2040 X-Series wide dynamic range power sensors made their debut at European Microwave Week. The series consists of four USB models for wireless and radar applications, and a dedicated LAN model for satellite testing. The 96 dB dynamic range, spanning -70 dBm to +26 dBm, enables accurate power measurements of very small signals, critical for applications such as wireless chipset and power amplifier module manufacturin...
EuMW 2014: PXI advance speeds load pull tests
European Microwave Week is the platform for Mesuro with support from National Instruments to demonstrate its latest advance in the utilisation of PXI to improve the speed of test for today’s technical demands. The two organisations will demonstrate a load pull set up that uses a traditional passive tuner for fundamental tuning and adds the RAPID PXI digital tuner to provide a high speed harmonic tuning capability.
EuMW 2014: Network analyser extension unit launched
At European Microwave Week Rohde & Schwarz has introduced an extension unit for its R&S ZVA high end network analyser family. The R&S ZVAX-TRM can be combined with an analyser to yield a powerful, compact and highly customisable system. The extension unit conditions the signals from the network analyser as required for a given task and either returns them to the analyser or outputs them via its integrated high-power test ports.
Innovative image sensing technology for early diagnosis of diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease
Professor Kazuaki Sawada and Dr. Takigawa of the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology and colleagues at Toyohashi University of Technology have established an easy to use, low-cost, rapid, and high sensitivity semiconductor-imaging based medical diagnostic biosensing system for analyzing blood and urine for early diagnosis of ailments including diabetes and Alzheimer’s diseas
RS Components takes Fluke test products to EMEA
RS Components has finalised an agreement with Fluke Europe which has responsibility for sales across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The agreement covers the distribution of Fluke handheld test and measurement products developed by Fluke’s Industrial group, including thermal imaging cameras, electrical power analysers, digital oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, visual infrared (IR) thermometers, installation testers and process cali...
Oscilloscope price offer woos early Christmas shoppers
Rohde & Schwarz has created a test and measurement price offer that will save buyers up to 40 per cent. It is based on a specially priced HAMEG HMO3000 mixed signal oscilloscope plus two logic probes and all available software options free of charge. Hobbyists may want to put this on their Christmas list, and professional users may see it as an offer not to be spurned. Either party should not tarry too long as the promotion only runs until De...
Triggering and decoding option enhances oscilloscopes
Rohde & Schwarz has introduced the RTO-K60 option to support developers involved in designing, verifying and debugging modules with USB interfaces. It enables the R&S RTO oscilloscope to trigger on USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and HSIC-specific protocol data, decode the acquired waveforms and display the protocol content in an easy-to-read format. The hardware-supported trigger implementation of the R&S RTO provides high acquisition rates and mi...
Agile signal generator undertakes complex simulations
The N5193A UXG agile signal generator from Keysight Technologies is an off-the-shelf instrument that enables highly realistic and scalable threat simulations for aerospace/defense applications. It is also a dependable slide-in replacement for the legacy fast-switching local oscillators (LOs) often used in large, dedicated simulation systems.
Field analyser integrates PIM and line sweep testing
Anritsu says it is breaking new ground in field wireless test with the introduction of the MW82119B PIM Master, which combines a 40W, battery-operated PIM analyser with a 2 MHz to 3 GHz cable and antenna analyser, eliminating the need to carry multiple instruments to measure the RF performance of a cell site.
