Source measurement units reliably gauge currents from nanoamps to amps in a single sweep
The R&S NGU series of high-precision SMUs feature innovative current feedback amplifier technology that provides both maximum sensitivity and accuracy to reliably measure currents from nanoamps to amps in a single sweep. To handle rapidly changing load conditions typical of battery-powered communications devices switching between sleep and transmit modes, the R&S NGU features an optimized control loop […]
Trigger-and-decode scope setup handles 1000BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet
The new K58 option for R&S RTO and R&S RTP scopes is billed as the world’s first triggering and decoding solution for 1000BASE-T1. The flexibility of Automotive Ethernet makes the simple twisted-pair network technology a candidate for an ever-increasing range of in-vehicle networks. To verify, commission and troubleshoot designs based on an Automotive Ethernet communication […]
Antennas and antenna measurements
Most antenna designs operate via the resonance principle, which is based on the fact that electrons moving through a conductor reflect back toward the power source when encountering a discontinuity. When current, caused by a radio signal’s induced voltage, reaches the end of the antenna element, it is reflected, travels in the reverse direction, and […]
Automotive radome tester runs accurate non-destructive tests
The R&S QAR is a mmWave imaging system for demanding radome and bumper material testing and validation. Thanks to its outstanding performance, speed, quality and intuitive operation, it is a candidate for applications ranging from development and production to verification of radome material and integration of 76 GHz to 81 GHz radars. The high spatial […]
Signal generator covers 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and UWB bands
The SMM100A series of vector signal generators from Rohde & Schwarz have models that generate RF signals from 100 kHz with a high-end model to 44 GHz. That covers today’s 5G frequencies and more.
Power sensors make high-speed, high-accuracy RF measurements up to 67 GHz
Rohde & Schwarz has increased the maximum measurable frequency of its three-path diode power sensors to 67 GHz. The three-path technology enables extremely fast and accurate power measurements with a high-sensitivity, portable instrument of minimum size and weight. This frequency extension makes high-speed power measurements possible for additional applications such as IEEE 802.11ay and 802.11ad […]
Compliance tests cover 2.5/5/10GBASE-T1 automotive Ethernet speeds
Rohde & Schwarz, together with connector and cable assembly manufacturer Rosenberger, have successfully demonstrated compliance testing for MultiGBASE-T1 supporting 2.5/5/10GBASE-T1 automotive Ethernet speeds, based on the OPEN Alliance TC9 working group test specification. This development enables vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers to have confidence in the performance of future, high-speed in-vehicle networks. Automotive applications such […]
