The new R&S NRP-Z85 and R&S NRP-Z86 are the first wideband sensors to measure power from 50 MHz to 40 GHz without requiring a base unit. Instead of a base unit, the sensors are connected to a PC via a USB interface. These sensors are ideal for a variety of applications in the development and maintenance of microwave and radar systems as well as in the design and production of microwave components.

Hanover-based DVS Digital Video Systems AG has been integrated into the Rohde & Schwarz group of companies. With DVS Digital Video Systems AG, Rohde & Schwarz has integrated a top technology player. DVS produces many products, including digital video systems and storage solutions for the film and TV industry.

Rohde & Schwarz has announced the availability of its new R&S ZVA-Z500 frequency converters that enable network analyzers to cover the 325 GHz to 500 GHz range. The R&S ZVA-Z500 models feature a superior dynamic range and outstanding output power over the entire frequency band, and can be set up completely via the network analyzer interface.

The new R&S SMZ frequency multiplier family provides convenient microwave measurement capabilities in the 50 GHz to 110 GHz range. The frequency multipliers in the R&S SMZ family are the first on the market to offer users the choice of either mechanically or electronically controlled built-in attenuator options.

A new high-end network analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz strengthens the company’s position in the network analysis segment of the test and measurement market. The R&S ZVA110 covers the entire frequency range from 10 MHz to 110 GHz.

Rohde & Schwarz presents its T&M solutions at electronica 2010 under the motto "Frequency meets Time": Its new oscilloscopes have advanced the company into the time domain. The R&S RTO and R&S RTM families are a highlight at the Rohde & Schwarz booth 307 in hall A1. One of the other top products on exhibit is the R&S FSVR, the world's first real-time spectrum analyzer up to 30 GHz. But that's not all: Rohde & Schwarz showcases new innovations in the microwave and millimeter-wave T&M portfolio with signal generation up to 110 GHz.

At the European Microwave Week 2010 in Paris (CNIT/Pierre & Marie Curie, booth 70/69), Rohde & Schwarz proves its leading role in microwave T&M with new T&M solutions up to 500 GHz. The numerous highlights include the R&S FSVR real-time spectrum analyzer up to 30 GHz, the R&S SMZ frequency multiplier up to 110 GHz as a practical supplement to the R&S SMF100A signal generator, as well as network analysis up to 500 GHz based on the R&S ZVA high-end network analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz. In addition, the company will present its two new oscilloscope families with bandwidths ranging from 500 MHz to 2 GHz.

The compact R&S®DST200 RF diagnostic chamber simulates conditions that approximate free space and features a 700 MHz to 6 GHz broadband test antenna especially designed for the chamber. Users can measure self-interference (desense) or radiated emissions, perform coexistence tests and verify the antenna radiation pattern during development.

Oscilloscopes are used in almost every field of electronics today – from digital circuitry to power electronics and RF engineering. Rohde & Schwarz has designed and engineered its new R&S RTO family of oscilloscopes for speed and signal fidelity. Capable of analyzing one million waveforms per second, these scopes make even the rarest errors visible in an instant. They also feature the first digital trigger system to be implemented in an oscilloscope, which minimizes trigger jitter. The new oscilloscopes will initially be available in two- and four-channel models with bandwidths of 1 GHz and 2 GHz and a maximum sampling rate of 10 Gsample per second.

Rohde & Schwarz has expanded its extensive range of power sensors by adding two new models to the R&S® NRP family. The new sensors are the first on the market to measure thermal power from DC up to 50 GHz and 67 GHz respectively.
