User-specific correction of frequency response and level response: Universal Radio Communication Tester R&S CMU200
The seemingly inconspicuous functions of a mobile radio tester are often the ones that contribute to a productivity increase in production. This also applies to the user-specific correction of frequency response and level response in the R&S CMU200, which offers quite a few advantages in mobile phone production.

User-specific correction of frequency response and level
response: a snap with the R&S CMU200:
The user-specific correction of frequency response and level response of the Universal Radio Communication Tester R&S CMU200 is designed to be versatile (FIG 1, 2). Separate correction tables can be compiled for each RF input and RF output. The user is free to decide on the number of frequency and level points to be set up. The tester linearly interpolates the level correction to be used between the frequency points. The correction tables (FIG 3) are easy to compile on any PC by means of a normal text editor, or automatically by a measurement program, and are then loaded into the mobile radio tester via the IEC / IEEE bus, RS-232-C interface or PCMCIA card, where they can be activated or deactivated at any time.

Family 300 – the strategy for the future: R&S Smart Instruments™
A number of Rohde & Schwarz products of the lower price class, which are notable for their excellent price/performance ratio and compact design, will in future be marketed under the R&S Smart Instruments™ label. Owing to innovative technical solutions, these products offer a level of performance that was previously available only with instruments of higher price classes. Another new feature of R&S Smart Instruments™ is that they can be purchased not only from local Rohde & Schwarz representatives but also directly on the Internet or via selected distributors.
The Handheld Spectrum Analyzer R&S FSH3 for mobile applications introduced in News from Rohde & Schwarz, No. 175, was the first product from the series of R&S Smart Instruments™. The next unit is the Spectrum Analyzer R&S FS 300, a bench model (page 20) , which will soon be followed by other members of Family 300, one of them a signal generator (FIG 5).

Shielded test cell for
temperature tests in production: Extreme Temperature Tester R&S E-Line
Mobile radio and automotive are two fields where individual components must function properly even at extreme temperatures. As a combined shielded enclosure, climatic chamber and multiplexer that can be programcontrolled to test up to 12 DUTs in a wide temperature range, the Extreme Temperature Tester R&S E-Line provides the optimum measurement environment for functional checks of components with a radio interface.

Accurate measurements of electromagnetic fields caused by transmitter systems: Portable System for EMF Measurements R&S TS-EMF
The effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are widely discussed in public at present, particularly in connection with the advancing implementation of mobile radio networks. The Portable System for EMF Measurements R&S TS-EMF with software R&S RFEX permits electromagnetic fields to be accurately measured and statistically evaluated especially in densely populated areas.

Expanded system devices line: Monitoring and coverage measurement systems
One reason why Rohde & Schwarz monitoring and coverage measurement systems are among the most successful on the global market is that they undergo permanent development and thus “set the tone.” This applies not only to the extensive range of standard equipment which form the core of the systems, but also to the system or special devices, which are also of interest for numerous other applications.
