• Virtual testing of 3G mobile radio terminals: 3G Virtual Protocol Test System R&S CRTU-VT

  The new 3G mobile radio standard UMTS is on its marks and Rohde & Schwarz supports the industry in this particular technical challenge with high-grade test equipment. The new 3G Virtual Protocol Test System R&S CRTU-VT combines a complete TTCN software development environment, verified 3G signalling test cases and powerful analysis tools for the simulation and testing of 3G UE protocol stacks. The virtual tester is based on modified software installed on the Protocol Tester R&S CRTU-W and is an excellent comple-mentary tool to this tester, the R&S CRTU-VT being able to carry out the early-stage comprehensive test of signalling sequences in 3G networks.

• Practical and indispensable accessories for testing mobile phones: Antenna Coupler R&S CMU-Z10 / Shielding Cover R&S CMU-Z11

  Service, quality assurance, development and production are often faced with the same problem: A suitable adapter cable is not available for the telephone under test or there is no connector at all on the telephone. A universal aid in such a situation is the Antenna Coupler R&S CMU-Z10, which also protects the DUT from unwanted interference in conjunction with the Shielding Cover R&S CMU-Z11.

• Firmware for 3G code domain measurements: Spectrum Analyzers R&S FSU / R&S FSP

  Owing to their flexible design, the Spectrum Analyzers R&S FSU und R&S FSP are developing into powerful 3G signal analyzers. Current add-ons are the WCDMA code domain analyzer for base stations (R&S FS-K72) and user equipment (R&S FS-K73) as well as the code domain analyzer for base stations (R&S FS-K82) for the competing 3G technology CDMA2000.

• New mobility in spectrum analysis: Handheld Spectrum Analyzer R&S FSH3

  Fast, cost-efficient and highly accurate signal characterization: These are the strengths of the R&S FSH3 - the ideal instrument for the installation or maintenance of mobile radio base stations, on-site analyses of faults in RF cables or a thousand and one other applications in service and development.

• Versatile tool for testing modern high-speed components: Transmission Analyzer D 3371 from Advantest

  Testing state-of-the-art components for high-speed technologies such as Gigabit Ethernet or Fiber Channel calls for test methods that conventional BER test sets no longer cover. The Transmission Analyzer D 3371 together with new options such as jitter tolerance enables effective tests on modern components.

• Test equipment for satellite-supported broadcasting systems XM and SIRIUS: Vector Signal Generator R&S SMIQ03S

  SIRIUS and XM now enable satellite-supported digital broadcasting also in the US, allowing nationwide reception in CD quality. Rohde & Schwarz thus added these two standards to the well-known allrounder, Vector Signal Generator R&S SMIQ.

• Stereo-modulated RF signals to standard with stereo / RDS coder: Signal Generators R&S SML / R&S SMV03

  Conventional VHF FM stereo transmission is still the mainstay of sound broadcasting. Suitable receivers will thus remain a much sought-after commodity for a long time to come. Every year, millions of car radios are produced, and even mobile phones are increasingly fitted with stereo receivers. Large-scale production calls for reliable, accurate signal sources with short setting times.

• Multichannel audio measurements on surround sound decoders: Audio Analyzer R&S UPL

  Fitted with the new option R&S UPL-B23, the Audio Analyzer R&S UPL generates AC-3-coded test signals (Dolby Digital) directly with the built-in generator. This makes for convenient measurements on surround sound decoders when used with the Audio Switcher R&S UPZ.

• Measurement of conducted EMI when using a switching power supply: Precompliance Test Receiver R&S ESPI

  A new firmware module has been developed for the R&S ESPI that further facilitates EMI emission analysis. The advantages of the new functions are demonstrated by means of conducted EMI on a PC power supply. An external DC power supply and a battery pack are available for network-independent measurements (see box on right).

• Impulsive noise EMC measurements on set-top boxes:

  Modern digital set-top boxes usually offer optimal picture and sound quality. However, if they have not been subjected to EMC (electro-magnetic compatibility) compliance testing, your TV set may emit crackling noises and picture interference can be pronounced. This may be trig-gered, for example, by sparks on the collector of an electric motor (impulsive noise). To remedy this problem, Rohde & Schwarz has developed a simple solution enabling set-top box manufacturers to test their products for compliance with relevant EMC regulations.

• DAB signals with flair: embedding data and auxiliary services: Digital Sound Broadcast Data Inserter R&S DSIP020

  Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) networks are being implemented all over the world. They are highly popular with audio program transmission and data services. The R&S DSIP020 not only inserts IP-based data into DAB transmission signals, but also generates complete DAB signals.
