Production tests on multiport DUTs such as frontend modules for smartphones are increasing in complexity. The R&S ZNrun software from Rohde & Schwarz is used during high-speed, high-volume production. It boosts speed and efficiency for measurements on multiport DUTs using network analyzers.

Rohde & Schwarz has added new microwave frequency options to its R&S SMW200A high end vector signal generator to support development applications requiring complex multichannel scenarios up to 40 GHz. The instrument creates signals of the highest quality for radar and satellite applications as well as for future 5G technology development.

Developers need large bandwidths to analyze wideband signals like those of the new IEEE 802.11ad WLAN standard, 5G next generation mobile communications signals, and radar chirp signals. The R&S FSW is the first signal and spectrum analyzer offering 2 GHz analysis bandwidth in a user friendly, commercial solution.

Thanks to TDD/FDD joint operation technology, wireless network operators will soon be able to aggregately use existing frequency bands with different duplex modes. This yields even more flexibility for carrier aggregation in line with LTE-Advanced Release 12.

The arrival of a fully IP-based ATC communications solution from Rohde & Schwarz at the Indonesian Civil Aviation Safety and Engineering Academy (ATKP) of Medan, North Sumatra, marks the beginning of a new era for training operations in Indonesia. The ATC communications solution is a complete system from the microphone to the antenna. It will help students at the Academy become highly skilled ATC operators and technicians.

The latest version of HDMI has paved the way for launching high resolution 4K/UltraHD products on the consumer market. Rohde & Schwarz is supporting this development by adding two HDMI 2.0 6G test modules to its video tester family. The company is offering the first integrated, easy to operate solution for electrical measurements of HDMI 2.0 sources. The video testers also enable protocol compliance verification for consumer electronics equipment.

16 bit vertical resolution with the R&S RTO and R&S RTE. Additional bandwidths, a history mode and segmented memory for the R&S RTM. Numerous compliance, triggering and decoding options for all oscilloscopes. Rohde & Schwarz will demonstrate these highlights and other innovations from its scope of the art portfolio at embedded world 2015 in Nuremberg.

Rohde & Schwarz is expanding its R&S RTM bench oscilloscope family by adding a new model that is ideal for the education sector. The instrument features a 200 MHz bandwidth and an education mode that deactivates special measurement tools to help students quickly learn how to work with an oscilloscope. The new digital voltmeter and frequency counter option also supports users in development, manufacturing and service with fast, precise results.

With its R&S RTE and R&S RTO oscilloscopes, Rohde & Schwarz is one of the first suppliers to offer analysis solutions for the CAN flexible data (CAN FD) interface protocol. A new option enables design engineers to analyze CAN interfaces that support the high speed CAN FD bus protocol. These interfaces are seeing increased use in automotive and industry applications due to rising data rate requirements.

Seven new modules have been added to the R&S OSP open switch and control platform from Rohde & Schwarz. Users now have altogether 28 modules at their disposal for implementing a variety of RF wiring configurations between test instruments and DUTs. This allows them to reproducibly configure even automatic path switchovers in complex RF test systems and control them via Ethernet.
