Rohde & Schwarz is offering its customers a new deal by grouping products from its basic range of precise, reliable and cost-effective instruments under the Value Instruments label. In addition to spectrum analysers and oscilloscopes, the Value Instruments portfolio includes EMC precompliance products as well as power supplies from Rohde & Schwarz and its HAMEG Instruments subsidiary

Rohde & Schwarz's ESR26 EMI test receiver covers the frequency range from 10Hz to 26.5GHz. The instrument performs conducted or radiated measurements in line with commercial standards such as EN, CISPR and FCC as well as military standards. The North American FCC standard and the CISPR standard both specify EMI measurements up to 18GHz

Rohde & Schwarz has released a BTC broadcast test centre, which it says provides a complete testing environment for nearly all audio, video and multimedia applications – in a single device. The RF reference signal generator generates RF signals for all global TV and broadcasting standards and simulates transmissions.

Rohde & Schwarz has developed a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) simulator, which runs on its SMBV100A vector signal generator. The SMBV-K101 option allows developers in the automotive and wireless communications industries to test GNSS receivers for specific effects such as obscuration and multipath propagation.

The new Power Viewer Mobile app from Rohde & Schwarz transforms Android smartphones and tablets into high-precision base units for power measurements. The USB-compatible NRP power sensors can now display the measured average power value directly on mobile devices with Android 4 operating system. The app can be downloaded for free at the Google PlayTM Store.

Manufacturers and test houses can now use the R&S VTC and R&S VTE video testers from Rohde & Schwarz to test next-generation HDMI sink devices with ultra-HD or 4k screen resolution. This is possible thanks to the new R&S VT-B360 HDMI TX 300 MHz HDMI module, which is equipped with four parallel HDMI channels with ultra-HD resolution.

Rhode & Schwarz has launched the mid-range R&S ZNB20 and R&S ZNB40 vector network analysers for frequency ranges from 100 kHz to 20 GHz and from 1 MHz to 40GHz. The analysers are equipped with two test ports and offer measurement characteristics that are on a similar level as high-end instruments.

More dynamic range and measurement speed in the microwave range: The new R&S ZNB20 and R&S ZNB40 network analyzers now offer these features in the midrange price segment as well. Like all models in the R&S ZNB family, their compact hardware platform requires less space than similar instruments.

A new measurement option from Rohde & Schwarz for the R&S FSW high-end signal and spectrum analyser supports real-time signal analysis for frequencies up to 50 GHz with an analysis bandwidth of 160 MHz. It enables the detection of interfering signals to the exact level and without gaps, using a single, fast measuring instrument.

Jitter measurements are important when developing circuits with serial high-speed data interfaces such as USB 2.0 and HDMI. One particular challenge is the signal's embedded clock that is used as a time reference. Rohde & Schwarz has addressed this requirement with new options for its R&S RTO high-performance oscilloscope.

A new software option from Rohde & Schwarz has been developed to allow engineers to optimise the EMI performance of their products as early as the design phase. Such a process should save time as the engineers work towards final EMI certification. The software option supports EMI bandwidths in compliance with commercial and military standards. The option contains EMI detectors such as peak, quasi peak, CISPR average and RMS average in line with C...

With the introduction of the new R&S RTM series, Rohde & Schwarz has expanded the functional range of its bench oscilloscopes. The key upgrades are a 20 Msample deep memory and a logic analysis option with 16 digital channels. The smart operating concept of the new R&S RTM models ensures extreme ease of use. The R&S RTM provides time domain, logic, protocol and frequency analysis functions in a single box, making it the ideal instrument for the t...

Described as a future proof instrument the Rohde & Schwarz SMW200A high end vector signal generator covers the frequency range from 100kHz to 3Ghz or 6GHz. It features an I/Q modulation bandwidth of 160MHz with internal baseband. It covers all the important communications stanards including WLAN IEEE 802.11ac, and 2x2MIMO, 8x2MIMO for TD-LTE and 2x2MIMO for LTE-A.

Rohde & Schwarz has upgraded its R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer with a new option to include analog baseband inputs covering a bandwidth of 80 MHz for I and Q signals. This makes it the only signal and spectrum analyzer on the market that can analyze signals with up to 160 MHz bandwidth in the baseband.

Rohde & Schwarz has enhanced its R&S THU9 transmitter family to deliver even higher maximum output power. The ATSC standard has been included to make the transmitters perfectly suited for the North-American market. The transmitters are available in the same power range as the inductive output tube transmitters currently used there.

Radiated emissions from the cable TV infrastructure can cause interference in cellular LTE networks. The R&S EFL110 and R&S EFL210 cable TV analyzer and leakage detectors detect these electromagnetic emissions quickly, accurately and cost-effectively. Using the R&S EFL110 and R&S EFL210 portable TV test receivers, cable TV network operators can now locate the loose connections or damaged shielding that can generate unwanted emissi...

Rohde & Schwarz adds the R&S BBA150 for the microwave range to its EMC portfolio. These compact, lightweight amplifiers with their state-of-the-art design are optimized for high frequencies starting at 0.8 GHz. The first model in the R&S BBA150 family covers the 0.8 GHz to 3 GHz frequency band and is available with an output power ranging from 30 W to 200 W.

Fast, precise, highly linear – Users working with a frequency range over 67 GHz now also benefit from the unique features of the thermal power sensors from Rohde & Schwarz. The new R&S NRP-Z58 is the world's first power sensor that covers the frequency range continuously from DC to 110 GHz. Rohde & Schwarz has added the R&S NRP-Z58 to its successful portfolio of power sensors.

More and more devices are using wideband interfaces that operate in the 2.4 GHz band. Starting in 2015, new certification tests will be mandatory for manufacturers of devices that use this frequency band and are sold in the European Union.

Rohde & Schwarz announce that it is collaborating with Dolby Laboratories to provide audio test technology to Dolby and its licensees. Rohde & Schwarz has updated its R&S UPP and R&S UPV audio analyzer platforms with new firmware that enables Dolby licensees to perform compliance self-testing and simplifies configuration management, at no additional cost to Dolby licensees.
