RIGOL Technologies expands its portfolio of RF Test Instrumentation with the introduction of the New RSA3000 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer. Available in 3.0GHz and 4.5GHz models with available tracking generators, the RSA3000 comes standard with 10MHz of Real-time analysis bandwidth but can be upgraded to 40MHz at any time.

Since its launch in 2017, the R&S SMW200A has been the world’s first and only general purpose vector signal generator that can be turned into a high-end GNSS simulator and is able to internally simulate complex interference environments in parallel with GNSS signals. This unique test solution has now been further enhanced by adding simulation capabilities for the L5/E5 frequency band.

National Instruments, the provider of a software-defined platform that helps accelerate the development and performance of automated test and automated measurement systems, and Spirent Communications plc announced their collaboration to develop test systems for 5G New Radio (NR) devices.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced that Keysight's N7610C Signal Studio for IoT is the first creation tool to support Semtech's LoRa® devices and wireless radio frequency technology (LoRa Technology). As a result, users will be able to accelerate design validation and verification of Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Tektronix, a leading worldwide provider of measurement solutions, expanded its RSA500 family of rugged, battery powered USB-based spectrum analyzers with the addition of the RSA513A and RSA518A offering 13 GHz and 18 GHz frequency range respectively. Along with their higher frequency support, these instruments provide the ability to stream I & Q data for customers to perform analysis consistent with software-defined radio functionality.

The solution consists of an R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer, the new R&S IQW wideband I/Q data recorder and an R&S SMW200A vector signal generator from Rohde & Schwarz. The R&S IQW records the signal spectrum of a wideband RF signal or the spectra of multiple narrowband signals in a frequency band, with a bandwidth up to 512 MHz. This makes it ideal for realistic component tests with radar signals, for deployments using a variety of RF test scenarios in the automotive sector, and for tests employing GNSS signals, for example.

Anritsu Company introduces PIM over CPRI software for its BTS Master™ MT8220T and MT822xB handheld base station analyzers that allow passive intermodulation (PIM) measurements to be made from the ground for the first time. By eliminating the need for network operator installation and maintenance crews and contractors to climb the tower to test for PIM, the new BTS Master-based solution is a much more cost- and time-efficient tool for ensuring optimal operation of wireless networks.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced the Keysight MX0100A InfiniiMax micro probe head, the industry's smallest solder-in probe head for high performance oscilloscopes, optimized for modern high-speed devices.

Tektronix, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of measurement solutions, introduced protocol decode, triggering and analysis support for the MIPI Alliance's System Power Management Interface (SPMI) for its 5 and 6 Series MSO mixed signal oscilloscopes. The new software option takes advantage of the leading-edge capabilities of these oscilloscopes including the productivity of touch-based setup, one of the industry's largest 15.6-in HD display for showing multiple buses and low-noise power rail voltages.

NI, the provider of a software-defined platform that helps accelerate the development and performance of automated test and automated measurement systems, announced that it is coordinating with Skyworks Solutions, Inc. to test products from their breakthrough Sky5™ unifying platform enabling revolutionary 5G applications.
