Phase noise analyzer/VCO tester checks frequency, sensitivity, RF power, current draw versus tuning voltage
Rohde & Schwarz designed the new R&S FSPN phase noise analyzer and VCO tester for production and design engineers who characterize sources such as synthesizers, VCOs, OCXOs, and DROs. Providing high sensitivity and measurement speed, the R&S FSPN is a candidate for demanding phase noise and VCO analysis in development and production. The R&S FSPN […]
Signal creation/analysis tool speeds development process for RF components
The new R&S VSESIM-VSS signal creation and analysis tool speeds the development process for RF components. It is particularly useful for the wireless, automotive, and aerospace and defense industries as well as for manufacturers of active components and systems. New wireless and satellite technologies offer ever wider frequency ranges and involve increasingly demanding requirements. Realistic […]
Scopes feature 5.6-in full HD touchscreen, 1 million wf/sec update rate
The new R&S RTO6 digital oscilloscope offers six different bandwidth models from 600 MHz to 6 GHz and a sample rate of up to 20 Gsample/sec. The fully integrated test solution for the time and frequency domain, as well as protocol and logic analysis, supports design engineers from all industries. The instrument features a high waveform update rate, excellent […]
Test system for automotive radar sensors electronically simulates even laterally moving objects
A radar test system from Rohde & Schwarz simulates driving scenarios for testing radar based advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and radar sensors used in autonomously driving cars (AD) entirely over the air. The test solution consists of the new R&S AREG800A automotive radar echo generator as a backend and the R&S QAT100 antenna array […]
A scope-based technique for optimizing EMI input filters
A simple oscilloscope setup can size common-mode and differential-mode noise filtering components separately and more accurately. Marcus Sonst, Rohde & Schwarz Any switched-mode power supply (SMPS) needs an EMI (electromagnetic interference) input filter to avoid disturbing power lines. Input filters generally contain both common-mode and differential-mode filter elements, and the two are rarely optimized separately. […]
UWB test gear characterizes angle of arrival, phase difference of arrival
Engineers testing UWB devices now can combine the R&S CMP200 radio communication tester and WMT software service to implement automated wireless manufacturing testing from Rohde & Schwarz with the high-precision delay lines XT-200 from Colby Instruments to perform measurements in conducted mode including calibration and verification. In UWB technology, the distance between two devices is […]
Benchtop linear power supplies come in single and dual-channel versions
New R&S NGA100 series power supplies are available in four models, providing a choice of single and dual outputs with up to 35 V/6 A per output, or 100 V/2 A per output. Single-output models supply up to 40 W, dual output models up to 80 W power. The dual model outputs can be combined […]
Scope test setup complies with IEEE 802.3ch MultiGBASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet standard
The new K88 option for R&S RTO and R&S RTP oscilloscopes from Rohde & Schwarz enables compliance testing on the next evolution of the automotive Ethernet standard. The new IEEE 802.3ch standard addresses the need for high speed networking and data transfers within the car. With the K88 software option, Rohde & Schwarz continues to […]
Vector network analyzers feature up to 67 GHz frequency range
The R&S ZNA newly introduced models cover frequency ranges of up to 50 GHz and 67 GHz. The R&S ZNA features excellent RF performance, including wide dynamic range and extremely low trace noise, and comes with a user-friendly, purely touch based GUI. Its unique hardware platform offers up to four internal, phase coherent sources plus […]
