The R&S RT-ZPR20 from Rohde & Schwarz is 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. The probe also features an integrated high-precision DC voltmeter.

To offer enterprises and organisations advanced network solutions for protection against script-based cyberattacks, Infotecs uses realtime JavaScript detection and extraction capabilities of Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity’s DPI engine in their next-generation firewall. JavaScript attacks are devastating, especially for companies and organisations. Not only do they have to deal with data breach and damage to their reputation but...

The video demonstrates Bluetooth Low Energy RF measurements with DTM (Direct Test Mode) using the R&S CMW wireless communications platform and the Nordic nRF52 development kit as an example.

The R&S VTx video tester family from Rohde & Schwarz has been extended to include tests for HLG-capable devices in line with the HDMI 2.0b standard. Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) is an enhancement to the high dynamic range (HDR) technique that allows good-quality replay of state-of-the-art picture material even on non-HDR-capable devices.

The R&S FSWP phase noise and VCO tester from Rohde & Schwarz measures phase noise with high accuracy at frequencies beyond 50GHz.

With growing demand for LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) services and applications as part of the Internet of Things (IoT), 3GPP has developed Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT) as a new cellular air interface that is fully adapted to the requirements of machine type communications. To ensure the significant quality and standardised network deployment, in October, CMCC and Rohde & Schwarz finished the first test session for NB-IoT capable base stations toget...

A collaboration between TeamCast and Rohde & Schwarz has successfully completed a DVB-CID interoperability test session between the DVB-CID generator embedded in the R&S BTC Broadcast Test Center (pictured) and the TeamCast DVB-CID Receiver. As for every new standard introduced on the market, different interpretations of the mathematical specification can be made. As no interoperability test session was organised so far by the DVB group, ...

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has specified new low-energy (LE) features in Bluetooth 5 that are tailored primarily to Internet of Things (IoT) applications. A key criterion for these applications is the lowest possible power consumption. An option is now available that makes it possible to quadruple the range of Bluetooth connections by transmitting data multiple times.

Iowa State University Aerospace Engineering Department is the winner of Rohde & Schwarz’s 2 minutes competition and is the recipient of the star prize of an R&S Scope Rider. Scope Rider will help the University’s MAVRIC student team design and debug a Mars Rover and enter the University Rover Challenge (URC), the world's premier robotics competition for college students. 

In July 2016 the FCC (Federal Communication Commission), the US regulator, decided to open up additional spectrum for future 5G wireless communications.

The R&S NRPM OTA power measurement solution is claimed to be the first solution for measuring transmit power over the air interface for 5G and wireless gigabit components. The solution enables users working in development and production to calibrate the output power of the antenna on a DUT and to test the DUT's beamforming function.

The new R&S RT-ZP1X passive 1:1 probe from Rohde & Schwarz broadens the application range of its R&S RTO and R&S RTE series oscilloscopes. Both the probe and the oscilloscopes' frontend are extremely low noise, making this combination ideal for measuring the smallest of signals down to 1 mV/div, e.g. for power integrity measurements on integrated circuits and components.

Rohde & Schwarz has signed an agreement to sell the PiMPro Tower Series PIM analyser developed by Communication Components (CCI). The analyser provides mobile network operators and their service providers with an ideal solution for PIM testing during the installation and maintenance of base stations.

Rohde & Schwarz will roll out a broad platform of test solutions for advanced technologies at electronica in Munich (November 8-11). These will include fifth-generation mobile radio (5G) and wireless gigabit, along with state-of-the-art test systems for embedded designs and automotive systems.

London City Airport (LCY) has successfully introduced a state-of-the-art millimetre-wave full-body scanner which will help further increase the speed of security screening and detection at the airport. The Quick Personnel Security scanner R&S QPS200 from Rohde & Schwarz completes a scan in just a few seconds and automatically detects potentially dangerous items.

The new R&S RTx-K76 CXPI serial triggering and decoding option from Rohde & Schwarz allows users to analyse the clock extension peripheral interface (CXPI) communications bus with R&S RTE and R&S RTO oscilloscopes. Users can decode all protocol details and isolate anomalies by triggering on the corresponding details. This significantly accelerates design verification and implementation of CXPI interfaces.

The Certification Center Svyaz-Certificate in Russia exclusively uses the GNSS simulator in the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator for the new performance tests on ERA-Glonass emergency call systems in line with the Russian GOST R 55534 specification. The R&S SMBV100A is already used in the conformance test solution consisting of an R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester, GNSS simulator and the associated application softwar...

Rohde & Schwarz has successfully demonstrated the generation and analysis of 5G signals based on the characteristics as specified in the Verizon open trial specifications. The R&S SMW200A vector signal generator and the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyser both provide outstanding test and measurement capabilities, resulting in an EVM performance of 1 % when applying these 5G signals.

The R&S ZNBT is a true multiport vector network analyser from Rohde & Schwarz. It can be used for testing complex multiport devices or multiple devices under test in parallel.
