Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced an improved, high-speed, 16-channel, PXIe digital stimulus/response (DSR) module with pattern editing development software. The improved DSR synchronizes up to 12 modules or 192 channels, a powerful and unique capability for applications in design validation and production test. The pattern editing development software enables test engineers to quickly create and edit waveform patterns or to import digital patterns created by automatic test generation applications and other sources.

After its successful debut last year, Rohde & Schwarz will present its steadily growing portfolio of oscilloscopes at Sensor+Test 2016. The highlight of the Rohde & Schwarz exhibit in Nuremberg will be R&S Scope Rider, a digital handheld oscilloscope, and R&S RTO2000, the most compact lab oscilloscope for multi-domain applications.

Anritsu Company announces that its ME7873LA RF/RRM Conformance Test System (CTS) leads the industry in total number of validated PTCRB 3CA LTE test cases supported by any platform. This leadership position was achieved based on approvals gained at the recent PTCRB #83 meeting held March 14-17 in Tampa, FL.

NI (Nasdaq: NATI), the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, announced the release of the TestStand Semiconductor Module, which provides test system engineers with the software tools to quickly develop, deploy and maintain optimized semiconductor test systems.

China Mobile Research Institute and Test & Measurement expert Rohde & Schwarz will cooperate on the evolution from 4G towards 5G within the China Mobile 5G Innovation Center project. Both companies have signed a corresponding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on March 18, 2016.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) introduced the world's first analyzer enabling a minimum of 100 pA level dynamic current measurements with a maximum of 200 MHz bandwidth, 1 GSa/s sampling rate and 14- or 16-bit wide dynamic range. The Keysight CX3300 Series Device Current Waveform Analyzer is a new category of instrument and is ideally suited for researchers struggling with high-speed transient current measurements during advanced device characterization and engineers working to reduce power/current consumption in low-power devices.

Tektronix, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, has expanded its line of disruptive USB-based real-time spectrum analyzers with 4 new higher-performance models targeting design, spectrum management and wireless transmitter installation and maintenance applications. The new RSA500 and RSA600 series of analyzers offer frequency coverage from 9 kHz up to 7.5 GHz with 40 MHz acquisition bandwidth, a measurement dynamic range from -161 dBm/Hz Displayed Average Noise Level, and up to +30 dBm maximum input.

Anritsu Company announces expanded capabilities for its Network Master™ Flex MT1100A optical transport tester that address the challenges associated with emerging technologies being integrated into Core and Metro networks, as well as in data centers. With the new options, the MT1100A is the only field portable multi-100G transport tester that can support native client payloads, including Ethernet, Fibre channel, SONET/SDH and CPRI, into various ODU encapsulation, serving as a comprehensive tool to verify network performance during installation and maintenance.

The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) commissioned its new spectrum management and monitoring system (SMMS) from Rohde & Schwarz in March 2016. The solution passed the final acceptance test on schedule in February 2016. It includes both mobile and stationary components and will be implemented across the country to regulate the frequency spectrum.
