Rohde & Schwarz has enhanced its fully integrated R&S SGS100A by adding a model for I/Q modulated signals from 80 MHz to 12.75 GHz. Combined with an I/Q baseband generator, the instrument can be used to generate test signals for all radio standards in this frequency range.

At the electronica trade fair in Munich, Rohde & Schwarz (hall A1, stand 315) places the focus on its new R&S ESR EMI test receiver, the fastest instrument of its kind on the market. In addition, the company presents a new microwave spectrum analyzer and solutions for new test requirements such as the analysis of multistandard signals in wireless communications. And visitors can also get a first-hand look at the oscilloscopes and their new option...

At the ILA Berlin Air Show, Rohde & Schwarz will for the first time present a communications intelligence system for airborne deployment to the public. Used in border protection, maritime rescue operations or military missions, for example, the onboard system always reliably detects, identifies and locates radio signals.

Rohde & Schwarz have today announced the release of the new R&S ESR EMI test receiver whose broadband architecture allows standard-compliant EMI measurements up to 6000 times faster than other solutions. Comprehensive diagnostic tools such as spectrogram display, realtime spectrum analysis and IF analysis help developers detect and eliminate EMI. The R&S ESR is impressively easy to use thanks to its intuitive touchscreen interface.

Rohde and Schwarz oscilloscopes are designed for engineers who need the most reliable and accurate representation of the signals they are analyzing. Discover some of the key parameters of an oscilloscope and how they impact on the performance in this video series

Are you familiar with PRACH measurements? And what about power dynamics? This Rohde & Schwarz webinar from March 2011 focuses on the amendments made to 3GPP TS 36.521-1 and explains the enhanced test definitions. The webinar illustrates on the Rohde & Schwarz CMW500 wideband radio communication tester how the specified RF test cases can be performed and automated, and how the results can be interpreted.

Measuring instruments used in commercial test systems for applications such as testing of mobile radio base stations typically have a much higher lifespan than the test system itself. Some five to seven years of usage is normal prior to replacement.

Rohde & Schwarz completes its own substantial portfolio in Spectrum and Signal Analyzers by the new U3800 2-channel Vector/Spectrum Signal Analyzer from Advantest. Introducing this powerful measurement tool the company addresses the dramatically increasing information traffic which leads to the more effective use of the available frequency resources, new transmission technologies, multi-use frequencies and intelligent routing techniques.

Whether in the R & D lab or in production, the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) solution for the R&S SMBV100A sets new standards in the field of satellite simulation. The GNSS simulator supports all possible scenarios, from simple setups with individual, static satellites all the way to flexible scenarios generated in realtime with up to 24 dynamic GPS (C/A and P code), Glonass and Galileo satellites.

This video explains some of the test and measurement challenges that arise due to the new LTE Release 10 (LTE-Advanced) uplink features 'clustered PUSCH' and 'simultaneous PUSCH/PUCCH transmission'. Additionally, it demonstrates how to set up a vector signal generator from Rohde & Schwarz, such as the R&S SMU200A, to generate standard-compliant LTE Release 10/LTE-Advanced uplink signals.

This video demonstrates the evaluation of various RF and baseband performance measures for LTE devices using signal generators and analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz in combination with algorithm design and modeling tools from Synopsys. Based on an LTE Release 9 dual-layer beamforming scenario, the measurement of characteristics, such as data throughput, is being explained as an example.

How to determine the end user performance in a real life LTE network will be explained in this webinar. It provides the key performance indicators to measure and to analyze in order to detect the root of a potential challenge in the network. Based on real life LTE network measurements the coherence of test results will be explained and approaches for how to solve potential issues will be illustrated.

Sequans Communications now uses Rohde & Schwarz test equipment to align its new generation LTE chipsets. The jointly-developed test solution is built around the multi-standard, market-leading R&S CMW500 radio communication tester.

The R&S RTO oscilloscopes combine excellent signal fidelity, high acquisition rate and the world's first realtime digital trigger system with a compact device format in the 600 MHz to 2 GHz class. They offer hardware-accelerated measurement and analysis functions.

Almost anywhere in the world, test and measurement products from HAMEG Instruments are now directly available from Rohde & Schwarz. This is why these products will receive a new logo that contains the names of both companies – a move that is intended to further increase the brand awareness and growth of HAMEG Instruments in both the domestic and international marketplace.

Livingston, in collaboration with leading equipment manufacturers Rohde & Schwarz and Kaelus, will host a new series of seminars examining the challenges currently being faced by the mobile communications industry.

u-blox and Rohde & Schwarz have successfully concluded a simulation of the Russian GLONASS satellite navigation system. The test, carried out with the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator and its GNSS simulation options, verified the u blox proof-of-concept and the compatibility of u-blox receiver technology with the GLONASS transmission protocol.
