A firmware option for 5G New Radio (NR) downlink signal analysis has been announced by Rohde & Schwarz. The firmware option for the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyser enables verification of signals for base stations, as well as component testing of 5G power amplifiers.

High voltage differential probes from Rohde & Schwarz are designed for complex measurements on state-of-the-art power electronics with voltages up to 6000V. The R&S RT-ZHD probes offer a measurement bandwidth of up to 200MHz, a high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and DC measurement accuracy of 0.5%.

Power supply quality is a key factor in the functionality and performance of sensitive electronic circuits. Embedded designs with incorporated RF modules face the additional risk that RF signals are coupled onto the power rails of sensitive electronic components such as microprocessors, fast memory components and sensitive analogue circuits, impairing the functionality of the device.  

Three oscilloscope series, the R&S RTC1000, R&S RTM3000 and R&S RTA4000 will be debuted by Rohde & Schwarz at embedded world 2018 in Nuremberg (February 27-March 1). These oscilloscopes are equipped with cutting-edge technology, a smartphone-like touchscreen and many more features.

Two additions to the Rohde & Schwarz portfolio of oscilloscopes will be looking to catch the eye of research and development laboratories looking for an instrument to undertake debug and analysis. The R&S RTM3000 oscilloscope offers bandwidths of 100MHz, 200MHz, 350MHz, 500MHz and 1GHz.

The educational and hobbyist market will be the targets for Rohde & Schwarz’s R&S RTC1000 oscilloscope series which is available from today (January 16).The oscilloscope has been developed to meet the growing demand for more functions in one instrument.

From April 1, 2018 onward, car manufacturers are required to equip new vehicles for sale in the EU with an eCall module. In the event of a serious accident, this emergency call system automatically sends data to the uniform European emergency phone number 112 to facilitate faster response by emergency services.

Digital TV receiving equipment and terrestrial tuner chipset manufacturers can now test the performance of their products for compliance with the ATSC 3.0 standard using only a single unit. To do so, Rohde & Schwarz offers an ATSC 3.0 real-time coder and a waveform testing library for its R&S BTC broadcast test centre.

To cope with today’s demanding radar signal simulations, ultralong playtimes are needed in order to simulate realistic radar environments. Pulse sequences are calculated pulse by pulse and streamed as PDWs to an RF signal source. This avoids long calculation times and saves memory space in the signal generator.

The video shows typical NB-IoT use cases and discusses the biggest challenge in NB-IoT networks: coverage. What methods are used to increase the coverage in DL and UL direction?

This video from Rohde and Schwarz demonstrates precise power consumption measurements on an LTE-M (Cat-M1) device as example.

Based on the R&S CMW platform, the latest version of the Rohde & Schwarz’s CMW100 communications manufacturing test set is preparing the industry for 5G new radio (NR) sub-6 GHz devices. Rohde & Schwarz is enabling the testing and validation of sub-6 GHz 3GPP 5G new radio (NR) based devices.

R&S QPS200 millimetre wave technology developed by Rohde & Schwarz has achieved TSA Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) detection certification. TSA certification validates that the R&S QPS200 meets TSA’s stringent aviation security detection requirements. The R&S QPS200 security scanner uses safe millimetre wave radio frequency technology to screen passengers automatically for concealed threats while protecting passengers&rsq...

Rohde & Schwarz’s R&S QPS200 Security Scanner has been commended at the 2017 Airport Operators Association (AOA) Awards. The premier AOA Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony celebrates recent achievements in the aviation industry and rewarding those that have played a major part in driving it forwards over the past year.

Rohde & Schwarz closed its fiscal year with a stable net revenue and a record-breaking order intake. The company’s wireless communications and security expertise have enabled it to crack important future markets. In the 2016/2017 fiscal year (July to June), Rohde & Schwarz surpassed 2bn Euro for incoming orders. At 2.06bn Euro, order intake was 14% higher than in the previous year, while net revenue remained stable at 1.91bn.

The launch of the R&S MNT100 RF interference locator from Rohde & Schwarz provides a new, expert approach to the challenge of locating and identifying sources of RF interference in mobile networks. The handheld instrument is optimised to detect, analyse and locate sources of interference from 600MHz to 6GHz.

Jürgen Meyer has been named as Director of the automotive market segment at Rohde & Schwarz. He is responsible for developing the market segment as far as product positioning and expanding the customer base.

At this year’s productronica, Rohde & Schwarz is focusing on innovative T&M solutions for next generation wireless communications technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), fifth generation mobile radio (5G), as well as automotive radar and infotainment systems.

To maximise and maintain a high data throughput when surfing and consuming multimedia content, the DOCSIS 3.1 data over cable system interface specification was developed as a successor to DOCSIS 3.0. The new standard uses channels with a bandwidth of up to 192MHz and OFDM coding, which provides a high data throughput in the direction of the cable modem.

Unlike conventional automatic network analyser calibration units, the R&S ZN-Z32/33 inline calibration units from Rohde & Schwarz are permanently connected to the test setup. This makes them an ideal solution for test setups that require frequent recalibration, especially where the test setup is inaccessible.
