RF power sensors handle up to 90 GHz
New R&S NRP90S and R&S NRP90SN power sensors from Rohde & Schwarz combine an extraordinary frequency range of 50 MHz to 90 GHz with a dynamic range from -70 dBm to 20 dBm along with high measurement speeds of 50,000 measurements per second. Compared to current thermal power sensors for measurements over 67 GHz, the […]
Gallery: Technology on display at Automotive Testing Expo 2022
The Automotive Testing Expo in Novi, Mich. hosted more than 280 exhibitors displaying test & measurement technology relating to EVs, battery testing, calibration, durability testing, and numerous other areas related to the design and development of automotive technology. Another +70 booths made up the colocated Automotive Interiors Expo. Below are a few of the more […]
New oscilloscopes feature super-fast 4.5 M acquisitions/sec update rate
The new R&S MXO 4 series oscilloscopes feature the world’s fastest real-time update rate of over 4.5 million acquisitions per second. Development engineers can now see more signal detail and infrequent events than with any other oscilloscope. The 12-bit ADC in the R&S MXO 4 series has 16 times the resolution of traditional 8-bit oscilloscopes at […]
Antenna test system enables temperature-controlled measurements, polarization access
The R&S ATS1500C antenna test system from Rohde & Schwarz offers a new temperature test option and a new feed antenna. These additional features enable temperature-controlled measurements in a wide temperature range as well as parallel access to both polarizations, increasing test efficiency and flexibility. The movable R&S ATS1500C is a compact antenna test range […]
ESW EMI test receiver bandwidth goes to 1 GHz
The R&S ESW EMI test receiver will offer the possibility to increase its FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) bandwidth to 350 MHz with the new R&S ESW-B350 option, and to a market-leading 970 MHz with the new R&S ESW-B1000 option. This makes the R&S ESW not only an instrument of highest performance in RF, functionality, versatility […]
5G test equipment goes mainstream
Performance qualities once only available in exotic instruments can now be found in gear designed for production testing. Rohde&Schwarz GmbH & Co. 5G has now made the jump from research to mainstream adoption, and most chip manufacturers are well down the road to developing second or third-generation components. In the early R&D phase, it was […]
EMI testing for IoT transceivers
A few oscilloscope measurements can give insight into sources of electromagnetic interference that garble the operation of wireless IoT devices. Examine a typical wireless device with an internet of things connection and you’ll likely find multiple RF receivers squeezed together in close proximity onto a circuit board. Cramped quarters characterize modern IoT electronics, so sensitive […]
Better UI, larger display for high-performance oscilloscopes
The new generation of R&S RTP high-performance oscilloscopes combine high-class signal integrity measurements with the fastest possible acquisition for real-time analysis. The new models come with a bigger and brighter 13.3-in full HD touchscreen and a fully redesigned front panel. Users can take advantage of the crisp 16:9 screen format, which displays waveforms while allowing […]
Vector signal generators get 56 GHz and 67 GHz options
The R&S SMW200A vector signal generator is first to enable flat frequency response and 2-GHz modulation bandwidth above 44 GHz. In addition to all applications already supported up to 44 GHz, the 100 kHz to 56 GHz option covers all currently used 5G frequencies, plus earth-to-satellite applications. The 100 kHz to 67 GHz option also […]
