Rohde & Schwarz, a leading supplier of test & measurement equipment, has further expanded the capabilities of its R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester and R&S SMBV100A GNSS simulator to support Global Certification Forum (GCF) protocol conformance tests for C-V2X device certification. Utilizing the Qualcomm® 9150 C-V2X chipset solution from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, the R&S CMW500 acting as LTE network simulator now allows automakers to test C-V2X direct communications (PC5) according to GCF Work Item 281.

Rohde & Schwarz introduces two new compact midrange signal generators that offer versatility and performance in a very small footprint. The R&S SMB100B analog RF signal generator and the R&S SMBV100B vector signal generator set new standards in their class, offering outstanding spectral purity, unprecedented output power and easy, intuitive touchscreen operation. The R&S SMB100B and the R&S SMBV100B specifically address the requirements of RF semiconductor development, telecommunications, and aerospace & defense.

Ultra fast acquisition rate of one million waveforms per second, realtime compensation of transmission losses (deembedding) between the signal source and oscilloscope, and silent operation even at full load – these are just some of the benefits of the high-performance R&S RTP oscilloscope family.

Rohde & Schwarz, a leading supplier of test & measurement equipment, has expanded the capabilities of its R&S CMW500 LTE network simulator and R&S SMBV100A GNSS simulator to support critical end-to-end safety related scenarios for device certification.

System integrator EuroMedia-Service has integrated the RelayCaster live content IP contribution solution from Rohde & Schwarz subsidiary GMIT GmbH into the Skyline DataMiner network management platform. DataMiner is a solution for the broadcast, satellite, cable, telecommunications and mobile industries. RelayCaster provides reliable contribution and distribution of live content over unmanaged IP networks. Multiple RelayCasters can be automatically linked and managed in DataMiner with the RelayCaster link manager application. This saves time for the provider and enhances reliability for A/V content contribution and distribution, especially in the case of large networks.

The new R&S TLU9 GapFiller from Rohde & Schwarz heralds a new era in gap filler technology. Conventional gap fillers are increasingly unable to meet the needs and requirements of network operators. The R&S TLU9 GapFiller, on the other hand, scores top marks for outstanding signal quality in every situation, strong performance even with Doppler echoes, and uninterrupted transmission for maximum reliability. It dramatically reduces maintenance effort and associated operating costs for network operators.

Rohde & Schwarz has extended its R&S FPC spectrum analyzer family, adding the R&S FPC1500. This compact instrument combines a spectrum analyzer, a one-port vector network analyzer and a CW signal generator. It is ideal for education, for applications in service and repair shops and for professional hobbyists. It is the first spectrum analyzer on the market to integrate the three most commonly used instruments on an RF engineer's workbench in one budget-friendly instrument.

Driven by recent advances in standardization, there is an industrywide trend for high performance Ethernet/IP-based networking and IP-based configuration and control of next-generation workflows in production/contribution environments. R&S PRISMON helps customers to master these trends by adding support for SMPTE 2110 and AMWA IS-04 to its latest software release.

With its new R&S PKU100, Rohde & Schwarz is entering the market for satellite uplink amplifiers in the Ku band. The R&S PKU100 combines the best of two worlds in a single device: the unbeatable strengths of solid-state amplifiers and the compactness and low weight of tube amplifiers. Adaptive linearization makes the R&S PKU100 truly innovative.

Rohde & Schwarz and Unigroup Spreadtrum & RDA, a world-leading fabless semiconductor company with advanced technology in mobile communications and IoT, are to establish a joint operator test laboratory in China as part of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (February 26 to March 1).
