Rohde & Schwarz and Promate have expressed the mutual interest for a long-term collaboration on an important material group by signing a global framework agreement for the development and delivery of display solutions. Displays, which increasingly include touch functionality, represent an important human-machine interface for end-users of test & measurement and communications equipment.

The frequency range of the Rohde & Schwarz R&S ZNBT multiport vector network analyser has been extended up to 20 GHz. The analyser, with a starting frequency of 100 kHz and up to 16 integrated test ports, offers fast sweep times and excellent RF performance. It is a true multiport vector network analyser and can drive all ports in parallel without the need for internal switching.

Microdrones, that fly above prohibited areas are an increasing security risk. R&S ARDRONIS enables users to identify drone control signals early on, locate and even stop the drone.

Six RF conformance test cases for LTE-capable high-power user equipment (HPUE) have been validated by Rohde & Schwarz, allowing the certification of such devices to start. The R&S TS8980 test system is the first and so far only test system that covers these tests for LTE band 14 public safety networks.

The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) relies on the mobile network testing technology from Rohde & Schwarz. With QualiPoc Remote Control measurement probes, CERN monitors its mobile network and consequently ensures that some 6000 employees are reachable by mobile phone 24/7 - both below and above the ground.

The Rohde & Schwarz R&S SFD DOCSIS signal generator delivers signals in line with the DOCSIS 3.1 transmission standard in real time. This enables cable network operators and component manufacturers to quickly and easily check whether their networks and/or equipment satisfy DOCSIS 3.1 requirements. This one-channel signal generator is extremely compact and highly customisable thanks to its software options concept.

A competition has been launched to find the most innovative use for the recently announced Rohde & Schwarz Scope Rider, a rugged portable oscilloscope with lab performance. Ten shortlisted entrants will each receive a GoPro Hero4 silver camera to make a video of their idea, and the overall winner will receive a R&S Scope Rider.

The new R&S FSVA is a new addition to the Rohde & Schwarz portfolio of midrange signal and spectrum analysers. It offers a 160MHz analysis bandwidth over its entire frequency range, with an ability to do so at frequencies between 26.5GHz and 40GHz. With its enhanced phase noise performance, the instrument offers users very high accuracy in spectral measurements on narrowband modulated signals and in phase noise measurements.

Today's connected cars include an increasing number of communications applications, including wireless applications for infotainment, driver assistance systems, emergency and intelligent transport systems and interfaces for embedded systems. To demonstrate its expertise in this area of testing, Rohde & Schwarz will be showcasing its R&S FSW85 high-end signal and spectrum analyser, including the analysis option for FMCW chirp signals at th...

The R&S TS8980 RF conformance test system from Rohde & Schwarz has achieved the world's first validation for both LTE-Advanced uplink carrier aggregation (UL CA) and LTE-Advanced Pro uplink 64QAM (UL 64QAM). RF conformance is a critical part of device certification as specified by the Global Certification Forum GCF.

Rohde & Schwarz has won a contract with Swansea University to equip the College of Engineering’s electronic teaching laboratories at the new science and innovation Bay Campus and provide long term support. Rohde & Schwarz commitment to the University includes student visits to their state of the art factories, student awards, tuition and staff training in addition to a full warranty.

Following its debut in 2015, Rohde & Schwarz will be exhibiting again at the Sensor+Test exhibition in Nuremberg (May 10-12) with a stand featuring its oscilloscope families. The R&S Scope Rider is the first handheld oscilloscope for mobile use offering the functionality of a lab instrument.

Rohde & Schwarz has signed an agreement with China Mobile Research Institute to cooperate on the evolution from 4G towards 5G within the China Mobile 5G Innovation Centre project. As a new partner of the 5G Innovation Centre, Rohde & Schwarz will actively accelerate the progress of 5G standardisation and its infrastructure and foster 4G+/5G innovations for test solutions and industry ecosystem support.

The successful installation of a DVB-T2 receiver compliance test system has been announced by Rohde & Schwarz and Balai Besar Pengujian Perangkat Telekomunikasi (BBPPT) – the official test lab under the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT) in Indonesia. The test system consists of an R&S BTC Broadcast Test Centre, R&S AVBrun automation software, StreamSpark PSI/SI and early warning system (EWS) test suite,...

Equipped with the new R&S SMW-K75 option, the R&S SMW200A high-end vector signal generator from Rohde & Schwarz can generate complex scenarios of up to 4x8 or 8x4 MIMO as well as two MIMO systems with up to 4x4 MIMO. Multiple input multiple output transmission is used for a number of digital communications standards, including LTE, LTE-Advanced and WLAN (802.11n, 802.11ac).

5G, the next generation of wireless communications, should be operational by 2020. However, to make the planned, significant performance boost over today’s networks possible, extensive preliminary investigations are required. Finding and characterising suitable transmission channels will play an important role. Rohde & Schwarz explain more.

SmartMonitor is a versatile mobile network testing solution for realtime service quality monitoring developed by Rohde & Schwarz. It provides a combination of powerful network probes based on commercial smartphones and a smart web-application that enables seamless monitoring of quality of service and end-user experience based on realtime input.

The new R&S SMW-B9 wideband baseband generation option provides leading-edge baseband capabilities to Rohde & Schwarz’s R&S SMW200A high-end vector signal generator. The new option extends RF modulation bandwidth to 2GHz enabling R&D engineers to generate signals with extreme wide bandwidth up to microwave frequencies.
