More and more everyday items such as household appliances, vehicles, lights, etc. are now connected to the Internet, forming what is known as the "Internet of Things". Even clothing with sewn-in sensors to measure vital functions can now connect to the Internet and transmit data to cloud services. These different things use a variety of wireless technology standards to establish a connection. Due to its popularity, one of the most important standards is Bluetooth (or Bluetooth Low Energy). Before a new product with Bluetooth functionality can be launched, the qualification process defined by the Bluetooth SIG must be successfully completed. To save time and money, performance tests need to be performed in the development stage. This application note describes how to use the R&S CMW platform to perform the measurements defined in Bluetooth test specification version 5. As an alternative solution, we also cover how to perform almost all of the measurements with a spectrum analyzer and signal generator.The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Rohde & Schwarz is under license.

Development of modern EW systems is a complex and expensive process, that requires thorough testing against all requirements during all phases of development. To keep cost under control, system level testing in the lab is key and brings several advantages: test cases can be reproduced under the exact same conditions as often as necessary. System level testing in the lab is often performed in a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environment. This application note provides some insight into generating radar signals for hardware-in-the-loop testing with the R&S®SMW200A. An introduction to HIL testing and realtime operation of the R&S®SMW200A is given. The hardware and software interface, the PDW format and synchronization and timing mechanisms are described. Additionally, various example scenarios and detailed information about intermediate calculations are provided. The application note also provides information about system requirements for advanced PDW streaming with multiple emitters on multiple parallel streams.

Within this application note the use of Python programming language to automatize GNSS tests using R&S signal generators is shown. With the R&S PyCharm1 plugin there exists an easy-to-use helper application which highly simplifies the first steps to start script based GNSS testing.Several GNSS use cases of R&S vector signal generators require much repetitive set-up and configuration steps, where human errors may occur. To mitigate these errors Python scripts communicating over SCPI interface may be used to automate the procedures. On the other hand looking up the SCPI-commands one-by-one can be difficult and time-consuming. For an improved user experience JetBrains PyCharm, the RsInstrument Python Module and the R&S Instrument Control PyCharm Plugin may be used to highly simplify the script writing process.This Application Note shows how to install the necessary software, connect to an R&S generator and use the Instrument Control PyCharm Plugin to easily generate user defined Python scripts.
