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.

  A range of solutions for automotive radar testing based on its expertise in microwave and millimeterwave testing were unveiled by Rohde & Schwarz at European Microwave Week 2017 in Nuremberg. The soon-to-be-available innovative solutions range from analysing radomes to generating multidimensional automotive radar echo environments.

The R&S ZNL network analyser and the R&S FPL1000 spectrum analyser will be launched by Rohde & Schwarz at European Microwave Week 2017 in Nuremberg (10-12 October). They offer flexible solutions for the most important RF measurements. These include the characterisation of components such as antennas, attenuators, filters and amplifiers, as well as measurements on signal sources including spectral measurements, analogue and digital sig...

The R&S SMW200A GNSS simulator adds a high-end solution to the Rohde & Schwarz portfolio of satellite navigation system simulators. It can be extended to up to four RF outputs and allows GNSS signals to be simulated simultaneously in multiple frequency bands for multiple antennas. It can internally simulate a complex interference environment in parallel with GNSS signals.

At European Microwave Week (EuMW) in Nuremberg (October 10 to 12), Rohde & Schwarz will showcase test solutions for RF & microwave components, radar, 5G communication and satellite payload. Additionally, for the first time, Rohde & Schwarz will feature a special exhibition area dedicated solely to innovative automotive radar test solution, located in the entrance of hall 7A.

  Manufacturer of test and measurement equipment for mobile radios and radiocommunications, Rohde & Schwarz has received an order from BAE Systems to equip the Type 26 Global Combat Ship (T26 GCS) with an integrated communications system for the British Royal Navy. The solution was selected based on its proven technology, usability and cost effectiveness.

Rohde & Schwarz and Huawei Technologies have successfully demonstrated 1.2Gbps LTE-A-Pro downlink throughput, using Huawei Kirin 970 SoC, the industry's first smartphone SoC to support category 18 (1.2Gbps). In the Rohde & Schwarz and Huawei lab, the 1.2Gbps download speeds were achieved by using a combination of up to three downlink FDD carriers on which carriers can be received separately on four transmission layers (4x4 MIMO, or multip...

The R&S FSW85 signal and spectrum analyser from Rohde & Schwarz now provides 5GHz analysis bandwidth, which is required for analysing wideband signals such as automotive radar FMCW chirp signals, IEEE 802.11ay signals and 5G waveform candidates.

Power electronics is a fundamental part of every electronic device. The right design is key to ensuring the required performance for electronic components, PCBs and systems. Considerations such as energy efficiency and longer battery life are also growing in importance. At the centre of the Rohde & Schwarz portfolio to be showcased at EPEʹ17 ECCE will be oscilloscopes.

Enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), one of the 5G use cases, targets wider bandwidths at frequencies in the mmWave range to achieve the promised Gbps experience.

5G targets three main use-case families: enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive IoT and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC).

When it comes to cyber attacks, the focus is usually on devices that communicate with the internet via fixed networks. Mobile users, however, are at no less risk - a fact that is becoming more critical with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT). A new test solution now covers the network activities of wireless devices, providing important information about security gaps.

The successful A-BeiDou verification of the MediaTek device under test (DUT) using the Rohde & Schwarz test system marks an important milestone in the GNSS evolution of positioning and navigation. It was the first time that the setup could be used to validate and verify a device for A-BeiDou location based services.

The R&S ZNLE vector network analyser has been launched by Rohde & Schwarz to address the requirements of customers looking to perform RF measurements to characterise components such as antennas, attenuators, filters and PCBs. The new standalone instrument weighs only 6kg and has a footprint of just 408mm x 235mm, saving up to two thirds of space on the workbench compared with competitive VNAs.

The video discusses LoRaWAN, one of the most promising LPWAN technologies. Find out how it works and how to analyse LoRa signals using the R&S RTO oscilloscope.

In this video, take a short tour on the technology evolution of Bluetooth LE to Bluetooth 5 to address the IoT market beyond wearables, PC peripherals and audio equipment.

Cellular IoT (cIoT) is on the rise. The video explains what we can expect from LTE-M and NB-IoT in the next 3GPP Releases (Rel.14 and Rel.15).

This Rohde & Schwarz IoT video series explains the main test challenges the wireless IoT industry is facing in development, manufacturing and deployment of IoT devices, networks and applications.

The internal analysis bandwidth of Rohde & Schwarz’s FSW high-end signal and spectrum analyser has been extended up to 2GHz by introducing the R&S FSW-B2001 option. This test solution enables R&D users to investigate wideband signals in detail without the need for an external digitiser.

Andreas Pauly has been named as as Executive Vice President of the Test and Measurement Division at Rohde & Schwarz. He succeeds Roland Steffen, who will retire at the end of 2017. Steffen will support his successor until that time as he settles into his new position.
