Rohde & Schwarz has launched a new option for the R&S®SMF100A microwave signal generator. Especially in today’s microwave and A&D market, it is important to obtain reliable results when testing receivers and transmitters. That's why one of the highlights of the R&S®SMF100A microwave signal generator is its outstanding phase noise performance. To improve this feature even more, Rohde & Schwarz has launched the R&S®SMF-B22 option.

Rohde & Schwarz has now added two additional models to its new R&S® FSV family: one up to 13.6 GHz and one up to 30 GHz. Users can therefore enjoy functionality that is unique in this class – for example, top measurement speed and easy operation via a touch screen – also in the microwave range. The R&S® FSV13 and R&S® FSV30 combined signal and spectrum analyzers stand out particularly due to their sensitivity and large-signal immunity.

BEAVERTON, Ore., November 18, 2008 - Tektronix, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, announced the new MSO2000 Mixed Signal and DPO2000 Digital Phosphor oscilloscopes. The new series provide powerful tools to simplify the debug of mixed signal designs including Wave Inspector® search and navigation tools, automatic decoding of serial data busses, unique FilterVu™ variable low pass filters to reduce unwanted noise from signals, all in a portable, affordable package.
