Automotive radars are often located behind bumpers and brand emblems. The materials of these covers (radomes) should allow the radar signals to pass through as uniformly and unhindered as possible. With the imaging R&S QAR automotive radome tester from Rohde & Schwarz, users in development and production environments can now check this easily, reliably and under automated control.

Rohde & Schwarz and Spirent have announced a partnership to provide a fully integrated test solution, offering full coverage of both the physical and protocol layers for automotive Ethernet TC8 ECU test specifications.

European Microwave Week in Madrid got off to a busy start as Rohde & Schwarz announced enhancements to its R&S FSW high-end analyser family. All R&S FSW models with a maximum input frequency of 26.5GHz and above are now available with a 2GHz internal analysis bandwidth option and an 800MHz bandwidth option for real-time analysis.

Rohde & Schwarz will present its Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signalling test solution for signalling RF tests under realistic conditions at Bluetooth World 2018 Santa Clara, California (September 18-19). Bluetooth Low Energy has emerged as a major transmission technology for the Internet of Things (IoT).

With the 5G NR network rollout clearly on the horizon, network operators worldwide are planning pre-commercial network trials in 2018 and 2019. Their goal is to overcome the challenge of a more demanding and complex air interface and to deliver the commercial and technical benefits offered by 5G to their customers.

Making its debut at Mobile World Congress Americas will be R&S INTRA from ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company. It offers real-time reporting capabilities that enable CSPs to efficiently glean data insights on subscribers across entire networks, and ultimately make more informed decisions that enhance organisational efficiency and impact.

ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company providing deep packet inspection software, has announced R&S INTRA, a new intelligent network traffic analytics solution for Communication Service Providers (CSPs). Making its debut at Mobile World Congress Americas, R&S INTRA offers real-time reporting capabilities that enable CSPs to efficiently glean data insights on subscribers across entire networks, and ultimately make more informed decisio...

Are you interested in eSIM? The video shows the evolution of SIMs from a full-size SIM card introduced in 1991 to the embedded SIM (eSIM) for M2M.

Rohde & Schwarz helped the University of Nottingham develop its electric Superbike which took second place in the SES TT Zero race at the Isle of Man TT this summer. The university achieved its highest ever placing at the event, splitting the two factory Mugen bikes, an historic feat never before achieved by a university team.

A solution for analysing 5G NR uplink signals in line with the latest 3GPP specifications has been released by Rohde & Schwarz. The R&S FSW-K145 5G-NR UL measurement application for the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyser is used to develop 5G user equipment and components such as power amplifiers.

The R&S IQW wideband I/Q data recorder from Rohde & Schwarz can be used to record signal scenarios typically required in test cases at a bandwidth up to 512MHz and high sampling rates. The solution records wideband RF signals and reproduces them to simulate real-world test environments, enabling realistic, repeatable device tests in the lab.

The future of transportation lies in automated driving and complex driver assistance systems. This requires that all vehicles be connected with their surroundings via a high-performance mobile communications infrastructure. Rohde & Schwarz T&M equipment is being used in the Providentia research project.

As essential components for autonomous driving, radar sensors help keep road users safe. With each stage on the way to fully autonomous driving, the number of radar sensors per vehicle rises significantly. Both OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers need reliable test solutions, suitable for mass production, for the large number of safety-related radar-based driver assistance systems.

Members of the 5G Device Forerunner Initiative were brought together by China Mobile in Shanghai to publish the Guideline for 5G Terminal Products. China Mobile and the other members of the 5G Device Forerunner Initiative signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU).

Two compact mid-range signal generators that offer versatility and performance in a very small footprint have been introduced by Rohde & Schwarz. The R&S SMB100B analogue RF signal generator and the R&S SMBV100B vector signal generator offers outstanding spectral purity, output power and intuitive touchscreen operation.

The capabilities of Rohde & Schwarz’s R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester and R&S SMBV100A GNSS simulator have been extended to support Global Certification Forum (GCF) protocol conformance tests for C-V2X device certification. Utilising the Qualcomm(R) 9150 C-V2X chipset solution the R&S CMW500 acting as a LTE network simulator now allows automakers to test C-V2X direct communications (PC5) according to GCF Work ...

Taking its first step into high-performance oscilloscopes Rohde & Schwarz announced today (June 12) the first instrument in its RTP range which covers bandwidths of 4GH, 6GHz and 8GHz. Citing the need to test products for what he described as “a data hungry generation”, Jithu Abraham, UK Product Manager, Oscilloscopes for Rohde & Schwarz listed some of the challenges.  

In October 2017, Rohde & Schwarz launched the R&S DSA DOCSIS signal analyser to enable real-time analysis of high-speed DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCIS 3.1 signals. Now the company is unveiling the new R&S DSA-K1500 upstream analysis option for cable modem testing.

Under the banner "Driving tomorrow's mobility", Rohde & Schwarz will present its wide-ranging portfolio of automotive T&M equipment at Automotive Testing Expo Europe (ATE 2018) in Stuttgart (June 5-7). The focus will be on applications in the areas of radar, V2X communications, eCall and automotive Ethernet for development, qualification and production.

Leading the way for Rohde & Schwarz at PCIM in Nuremberg (June 5-7) will be the recently enhanced power-of-ten oscilloscope family with 10-bit resolution and large memory depth. Alongside will be high-voltage differential probes with up to 200MHz bandwidth and 0.5% DC accuracy.
