Ground station testing on satellites in orbit
Test and measurement solutions for in-orbit satellites: Once a communications satellite is on its target orbit, several routines need to be performed in order to ensure proper performance of the transponders in the payload. On-orbit measurements are also a vital part of live satellite maintenance. This application brochure focuses on a few important post-launch measurement setups where Rohde & Schwarz offers unique instruments.
Modulation and Signal Generation with R&S®Signal Generators
Signal generators play a vital role in electrical test and measurement. They generate the test signals that are applied to components such as filters and amplifier, or even to entire modules, in order to ascertain and test their behavior and characteristics. The first part of this educational note presents the applications for and the most important types of signal generators. This is followed by a description of the construction and functioning of analog and vector signal generators. To permit a better understanding of the specifications found on data sheets, a closer look at the most important parameters for a signal generator is provided.Beyond the output of spectrally pure signals, a key function of RF signal generators is the generation of analog- and digitally modulated signals. The second part of this note therefore presents the fundamentals for the most significant analog and digital modulation methods.The third part of this educational note contains exercises on the topics of analog and digital modulation. All described measurements were performed using the R&S®SMBV100A vector signal generator and the R&S®FSV spectrum analyzer.

Fully tuned for microwave and millimeterwave testing - Brochure
Starting with the early microwave applications for radar, the advantage of increased bandwidth has been a deciding factor in shifting toward microwave and millimeterwave (mmWave) for communications technologies. It began with satellite transmissions and then came down to earth with cable television and wireless local area networks such as Wi-Fi followed by new applications in the automotive and aerospace fields. The high bandwidth and high capacity demand of 5G – the next generation of mobile networks – also promote the trend toward ever higher frequencies in electronics.
