Rohde & Schwarz has integrated the fast time domain scan as standard in its R&S ESW EMI test receiver. It works with double bandwidth to increase measuring speed. Also new is the R&S EWS-K58 multi CISPR ADP option. It precisely shows the effects of interference on digital communication systems. The option accelerates CISPR 11 tests on microwave ovens and could prevail for other product tests in the future.

The R&S IQW100 brings signals from the real world into the laboratory to simulate real-world test environments, used in combination with selected midrange R&S signal analyzers and generators. It follows the successful launch in 2018 of the high-end R&S IQW wideband I/Q data recorder supporting top-of-the range R&S equipment. The R&S IQW100 supports recording and replaying signals with bandwidths up to 200 MHz and sampling rates up to 250 MS/s.

Rohde & Schwarz is continuously extending its portfolio of test solutions for 5G base stations and the associated massive MIMO antenna arrays and amplifiers. Highlights include an OTA test solution with frontend modules specifically for the 5G FR2 range and a solution for speed-optimized tests of 5G base stations. Both are ideal for use in production. There is also a new, innovative test solution that allows developers to perform cross-channel measurements with up to 4x4 MIMO in the FR1 range.

With 5G becoming reality, the demand for production test solutions for 5G devices is growing. However, high-volume testing in the mmWave frequency range (FR2) brings new challenges. For example, DUTs must be validated in an over-the-air environment. To meet these challenges, Rohde & Schwarz has developed the compact R&S CMPQ, a fully integrated production test solution from a single supplier. The concept is based on a radio communication tester and a shielding solution, providing accurate and reliable measurement results under radiated conditions.

Rohde & Schwarz offers a broad range of WLAN signaling test solutions in line with IEEE 802.11ax. Access points and WLAN stations can now be tested in single input single output (SISO) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) mode as well as in single-user or multi-user (OFDMA) operation, even under fading conditions and during IP data application.

At the leading trade show for the embedded industry in Nuremberg, Rohde & Schwarz will highlight its T&M solutions for embedded designs in the automotive sector and high speed digital interfaces. The T&M expert will demonstrate trendsetting Bluetooth® T&M solutions and innovative solutions for power, EMC and power integrity measurements. The company is also celebrating ten years of Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes.

As new FCC’s Enhanced Targeting Rules are set to take effect this November, the ability to geo-target residents who receive Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) will soon be a mandatory requirement.

The Munich based technology group Rohde & Schwarz welcomes visitors on its home turf at productronica, the world's leading trade fair for electronics development and production. At booth 375 in hall A1 of Messe München, the company will display its solutions for Industry 4.0, test and measurement solutions for production and development, and automatic production test systems. In addition, visitors can learn about the group’s electronic manufacturing services.

As 5G devices come to market, the new R&S CMX500 radio communication tester by T&M expert Rohde & Schwarz enables 5G NR testing for conformance test labs around the world with support for TDD & FDD RF, RRM, LBS, data performance, protocol conformance and network operator supplemental tests.

Rohde & Schwarz, a premium supplier of test and measurement solutions to the wireless industry, will enable handset manufacturers and mobile operators worldwide to test and verify LBS (Location Based Services) operation in 5G NR devices.
