The R&S^®TS6600 is a test system for phase-coherent multichannel signal simulation. The test system provides an efficient solution for analyzing radar frontends by means of multichannel, phase-coherent signals in development, production and service.

High level and phase accuracy are ensured through a short recalibration of the test system, which is performed automatically each time the system is started and after each temperature change. In conjunction with the use of all-inclusive test routines, this simplifies tests in production and service. The system is controlled via a GUI or from the customer´s main measurement software.

Flexible signal generation is a key requirement in the creation and simulation of radar scenarios. The test system from Rohde & Schwarz allows the use of predefined, manually created signal sequences or previously recorded sequences.

The test system can be precisely configured to match the specific application and the required parameters. With its high degree of scalability, the system can be tailored to offer the required functionality for any desired application from development through to servicing.
