features:  Support for module OSP-B153 Fixed Issues  For the module OSP-B133, OSP-B112UL the cycle counter function is not implemented yet.  For the modules OSP-B111, OSP-B111UL, OSP-B111VL some relays cannot be switched.

Some of the new Rohde & Schwarz instruments, such as the R&S®OSP and R&S®FSC, only have a LAN interface. To be able to operate these instruments in a purely GPIB system, a converter must be connected between the instrument and the GPIB. Rohde & Schwarz now offers such a GPIB to LAN converter.

Synchronized Multichannel High-Resolution Power Meter and Switching Modules.This data sheet refers to the combination of the R&S®OSP150 with the R&S®OSP-B157W8 PLUS module and the combination of the R&S®OSP220 with the R&S®OSP-B157WX module.

This application note shows how to remote control the switching of RF and digital I/O signals by R&S®OSP Open Switch and Control Platform directly from a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) or from a Spectrum Analyzer (SA). The R&S®ZVA, R&S®ZVB, R&S®ZNB, R&S®FSW and R&S®FSV families are covered. The application note first describes the requirements and setup procedure. It is shown how to install the software and how to set up the system in order to get highest flexibility and best usability. It is then shown how to calibrate the entire configuration and finally some practical examples are provided. Switching is explained using VNAs as an example, the appendix 5.4 provides hints regarding the differences when using SAs in a similar way.

Welcome to our short video tutorials on how to test radars using Rohde & Schwarz test equipment. Access to most information about radar is pretty restricted, as many radar applications are military or secretive industrial research. To show you some basic Radar tests we have created RADAR demo tools, which functions at a frequency of 2.45 GHz, which is in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical band. So we can even perform our tests in unshielded rooms. The frequencies are also used by radar operating in the ITU "S"-band from 2.3 to 2.5 GHz for air traffic control, weather and marine radar. The videos are suitable for 'from-the-scratch' introduction of R&S RADAR test equipment. They can also be used for plain introduction to the RADAR principle.

Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar, military Air Traffic Surveillance (ATS) radar and meteorological radar operate in S-Band frequency range. In fact 4G communication systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) make also use of these frequencies. Test and measurement of their coexistence is absolutely essential as performance degradation of mobile devices and networks and even malfunction of ATC radars has been proven.This application note describes LTE and S-Band radar coexistence test and measurement. It addresses LTE user equipment, base stations and S-Band radars and presents test solutions.
