At Embedded World Rohde & Schwarz released the RT-ZPR20, a new, extremely low-noise power rail probe with a bandwidth of 2GHz. Its 1:1 attenuation also ensures very good sensitivity. The large offset range of ± 60 V permits analysis of the smallest disturbance signals during power integrity measurements, even on DC power supplies with a high voltage level.

At embedded world 2017, Rohde & Schwarz introduced three entry-level test and measurement products. For these and other entry-level products, Rohde & Schwarz will extend its distribution network of channel partners worldwide. The R&S RTB2000 is an entry-level oscilloscope that offers a 10-bit vertical resolution as well as 10 Msample memory and a 10in. touchscreen.

The R&S CMW500 from Rohde & Schwarz offers both NB-IoT and eMTC protocol conformance tests. Manufacturers and test houses can now use a single instrument to verify that chipsets, modules and devices are standard-compliant. Enhanced machine type communications (eMTC) und narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) are part of LTE Release 13. Together, they are known as cellular IoT (C-IoT).

Compliance and pre-compliance test receivers, highly sophisticated, harmonised system solutions, analysis software and broadband amplifiers will be showcased by Rohde & Schwarz at EMV 2017 in Stuttgart (March 28-30). A special focus this year is the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), the new certification guideline for radio equipment in Europe.

Rohde & Schwarz and Prisma Telecom Testing, a supplier of performance testing solutions, have successfully completed verification of LTE FDD five component carrier (5CC) aggregation in the downlink, including 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM on each carrier. This combination allows data transfer rates up to 2 Gbit/s. Rohde & Schwarz has presented this test setup to the public for the first time at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Rohde & Schwarz has successfully implemented a wide range of NB-IoT tests that can be used to verify the Qualcomm Technologies’ MDM9206 global Cat M1/Cat NB-1 dual-mode LTE modem. By using the R&S CMW-KU300 NB-IoT MLAPI scenarios and the R&S CMW-KR313 3GPP Rel. 13 C-IoT protocol test enabler on a single R&S CMW500 radio communication tester, engineers can test their IoT devices based on the MDM9206 LTE modem under realistic ...

Rohde & Schwarz announced at Mobile World Congress that it is expanding the internal analysis bandwidth of its R&S FSW high end signal and spectrum analyser to 1.2 GHz by introducing the new R&S FSW-B1200 option. This test solution enables R&D users to analyse wideband signals in detail. No other instrument is needed as an external digitiser.

When installing and maintaining mobile communications antenna systems, the key is to perform one-port measurements quickly and correctly the first time. The new handheld R&S Cable Rider ZPH cable and antenna analyser from Rohde & Schwarz has that capability. With its fast measurement speed, intuitive operation and long battery life, it is ideal for use in the field.

Rohde & Schwarz and MediaTek have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to cooperate on developing test solutions for 5G. A first joint 5G technology proof-of-concept trial for 28 GHz beam tracking for mobile environments is being showcased at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona.

Long battery life is a key criterion for mobile devices as well as for embedded systems and chips for Internet-of-Things and machine-to-machine applications. That’s why Rohde & Schwarz is providing a complete solution for testing battery life in all operating modes. It consists of an R&S CMW radio communication tester, the new R&S RT-ZVC power probe and the R&S CMWrun sequencer software.

The R&S CMW-KM052 analysis option which makes the R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester a valuable tool for improving the security of IP-based data communications for mobile devices and Internet-of-Things modules was featured by Rohde & Schwarz at Mobile World Congress. 

A quick personnel security scanner will be the highlight of test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz’s stand B49 at Security & Policing 2017 at Farnborough (March 7-9). The walk-in security scanner delivers high-precision and efficient security control while ensuring an unobtrusive and uncomplicated experience for scanned people.

A combined solution from EXFO and Rohde & Schwarz enables technicians to quickly and accurately troubleshoot RF interference issues and allow mobile network operators to minimise OPEX. EXFO’s OpticalRFTM over CPRI/OBSAI application, supported on the compact FTB-1 Pro test platform, can be connected at the baseband unit and remotely accessed via a mobile device to provide real-time RF spectrum views and to quickly detect RF signal interf...

The world’s first field and coverage measurement solution at 28 GHz which will pave the way for the deployment of 5G networks has been presented by Rohde & Schwarz. The world’s first 5G network deployments will be in the 28 GHz band, with US and South Korean based operators leading the timeline.

Aricent and Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity have announced a technology solution to further enhance quality of service, traffic optimisation and service charging. Aricent’s Traffic Detection Function capability now incorporates the deep packet inspection (DPI) engine R&S PACE 2, a state-of-the art DPI software library that uses different technologies (including pattern matching, behavioral, heuristic and statistical analysis...

Under the motto "Be ahead in testing technology", Rohde & Schwarz will showcase its latest test solutions for chipsets, components and devices as well as radio networks in line with current and future standards up to 5G. The test and measurement company will host visitors on two stands in Hall 6 at Mobile World Congress 2017. The main stand #6C40 will display solutions for device and infrastructure testing as well as cybersecurity under the m...

A shift of paradigm in IT security is becoming more and more crucial to enable scalability in future IoT infrastructures. At RSA Conference 2017 in San Francisco, Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity showcases its embedded protocol and application classification solutions. These solutions promote a shift from a traditional, reactive blacklisting of known signatures to a highly pro-active whitelisting approach.

Rohde & Schwarz mobile network testing, powered by SwissQual, and Samsung have signed an agreement effective immediately that allows access to the RF trace information on Samsung’s flagship mobile devices. This enables Rohde & Schwarz mobile network testing to continue to offer commercially available firmware in the future when integrating the latest commercial phones into their benchmarking, optimisation and monitoring solutions. ...

Does exceptional quality and innovation have to be expensive. No is the emphatic response from Rohde & Schwarz and the test and measurement giant will prove it at embedded world in Nuremberg (March 14-16). It will feature its new entry-level T&M solutions and showcase the latest R&S RTO2000 high-performance oscilloscope up to 6GHz.

The handheld Rohde & Schwarz Scope Rider now combines the functionality of eight instruments, which says the company makes it the most versatile oscilloscope in its class. New features include a spectrum analyser, a frequency counter and a harmonic analyser for evaluating the quality of power supplies.
