Measurements taking place in pre-commercial 5G network trials provide new insights and overcome uncertainties before the technology’s formal launch. By Rohde&Schwarz The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) defined fifth-generation (5G) cellular technology in Release 15, which updated mission-critical (MC) communications and MC service functions, to meet the International Telecommunication Union’s IMT-2020 performance requirements. IMT-2020 laid […]
Test instruments carry new 1.35-mm E-band coaxial connector
The R&S NRP90T and R&S NRP90TN thermal power sensors support the novel, robust 1.35-mm precision coaxial connector. The connector covers frequencies up to 90 GHz and shall be included in the next releases of both IEEE and IEC relevant standards. Rohde & Schwarz has been a partner in the 1.35-mm E connector development project since […]
Microwave Symposium goes virtual, timeframe August
The 2020 IEEE International Microwave Symposium will be a virtual event in August.
Test gear checks out OPEN Alliance TC9 test spec for 1000BASE-T1
Rohde & Schwarz and connectivity and sensor component manufacturer TE Connectivity have successfully tested a communication link, utilizing Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cables and TE’s MATEnet data connector system, for compliance with the One-Pair Ethernet (OPEN) Alliance Technical Committee (TC) group 9 test specification for 1000BASE-T1. Automotive Ethernet is becoming the preferred solution for in-vehicle […]
Test bench checks out automotive radomes
Löhnert Elektronik is integrating the R&S QAR imaging tester from Rohde & Schwarz into its new end-of-line test benches for automotive radomes. Now the test benches can reproducibly test the reflection and transmission of these sensor covers over their entire surface at cycle rates of less than ten seconds. Löhnert Elektronik, a specialist in custom […]
New time-saving functions for ESW EMI test receiver
Rohde & Schwarz has integrated the fast time-domain scan as standard in its R&S ESW EMI test receiver. It works with double bandwidth to increase measuring speed. Also new is the R&S EWS-K58 multi CISPR ADP option. It precisely shows the effects of interference on digital communication systems. The option accelerates CISPR 11 tests on […]
Wideband I/Q data recorder enables field-to-lab tests with midrange equipment
The R&S IQW100 brings signals from the real world into the laboratory to simulate real-world test environments, used in combination with selected midrange R&S signal analyzers and generators. The R&S IQW100 supports recording and replaying signals with bandwidths up to 200 MHz and sampling rates up to 250 MS/sec. For the many worldwide users of […]
Instrumentation supports wake-up signal test in NB-IoT devices
New radio communication testers have implemented the many new NB-IoT features introduced with 3GPP Releases 14 and 15. The R&S CMW500 and R&S CMW290 both introduced wake-up signal support, among other Release 15 features, with the most recent firmware releases. For NB-IoT long-term monitoring applications, this wake-up signal can be leveraged to enable either far […]
Newark to stock new Generation of Rohde & Schwarz power supplies
Newark, the Development Distributor, has added Rohde & Schwarz’s NGP800 Series of power supplies to its portfolio. The new generation NGP800 Series is made up of five 2- and 4-channel models operating at either 400 W or 800 W, suited for both bench-top and automated test systems. Design and Test Engineers will benefit from a […]
Spectrum analyzer sports 8.3-GHz internal analysis bandwidth
The R&S FSW high-end signal and spectrum analyzer can now be equipped with an R&S FSW-B8001 option, supporting an unparalleled 8.3 GHz internal analysis bandwidth. The Rohde & Schwarz set up represents some of the first research exploring data transmission at sub-THz frequencies featuring ultra-wide bandwidths. In the set up, a wideband-baseband signal is upconverted […]
