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 […]
VIAVI, Rohde introduce 5G site test tools
You know 5G is in deployment when two companies introduce installation and maintenance test tools in the same week. That’s what happened recently as both VIAVI Solutions and Rohde & Schwarz introduced portable test equipment for 5G site installation, though the companies emphasize different tests. VIAVI, known for its network-testing products, introduced the OneAdvisor-800, a…
Benchtop power supplies provide four 80-A channels
The new R&S NGP800 power supply series includes two and four-channel models and further extends the functions and performance available for dc power provided by Rohde & Schwarz. For any test and measurement application requiring up to four independent dc power supplies with full flexibility, full functionality, full safety, and full connectivity, the R&S NGP800 […]
Instrument platform handles over-the-air testing for Bluetooth LE
An instrument platform runs new Bluetooth LE test modes for Bluetooth LE 5.0. Similar to that for Bluetooth Classic, it allows manufacturers to perform all RF and pre-conformance tests on their Bluetooth LE components via the over the air interface (OTA). This simplifies testing considerably, as no additional control cable is required as would be […]
Test gear speeds development of CAT M1 and NB IoT modules
Virtual drive tests during the development phase of CAT M1 and NB IoT modules help find and fix problems at an earlier stage. New test setups also enable seamless cellular coverage and reliable connectivity before the integration process continues and further field tests are performed. Network-specific integration tests and field tests include analysis of unique […]
IEEE 802.11ax compliant WLAN signaling test setup handles SISO, MIMO, OFDMA modes
An IEEE 802.11ax test solution for WLAN access points in multi-user operation (OFDMA) employs an R&S CMW270 Wireless Connectivity Tester to test the RF characteristics of receivers and transmitters and to determine the data throughput in the transmit and receive directions. With an R&S CMW270 Wireless Connectivity Tester and the WLAN 11ax signaling test option, […]
DesignCon video: Jitter analysis with an oscilloscope
All serial data streams have some jitter where the timing of bit edges differs from the ideal. With serval types of jitter composing a signal’s total jitter, you need to know which forms of jitter reduce bit-error-ratio. Oscilloscopes can decompose jitter and let you see which forms limit data transmissions. At DesignCon 2020, Rohde &…
Cloud/browser-based platform enables remote RF analysis
A cloud and browser-based application platform enables users to perform RF analysis remotely, without having to purchase a permanent software license. With R&S Cloud4Testing, users take advantage of different Rohde & Schwarz software solutions for testing – the only thing required is internet access and a valid subscription. R&S Cloud4Testing is an innovative software-as-a-service (SaaS) […]
