Source measurement units reliably gauge currents from nanoamps to amps in a single sweep
The R&S NGU series of high-precision SMUs feature innovative current feedback amplifier technology that provides both maximum sensitivity and accuracy to reliably measure currents from nanoamps to amps in a single sweep. To handle rapidly changing load conditions typical of battery-powered communications devices switching between sleep and transmit modes, the R&S NGU features an optimized control loop […]
Trigger-and-decode scope setup handles 1000BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet
The new K58 option for R&S RTO and R&S RTP scopes is billed as the world’s first triggering and decoding solution for 1000BASE-T1. The flexibility of Automotive Ethernet makes the simple twisted-pair network technology a candidate for an ever-increasing range of in-vehicle networks. To verify, commission and troubleshoot designs based on an Automotive Ethernet communication […]
Antennas and antenna measurements
Most antenna designs operate via the resonance principle, which is based on the fact that electrons moving through a conductor reflect back toward the power source when encountering a discontinuity. When current, caused by a radio signal’s induced voltage, reaches the end of the antenna element, it is reflected, travels in the reverse direction, and […]
Automotive radome tester runs accurate non-destructive tests
The R&S QAR is a mmWave imaging system for demanding radome and bumper material testing and validation. Thanks to its outstanding performance, speed, quality and intuitive operation, it is a candidate for applications ranging from development and production to verification of radome material and integration of 76 GHz to 81 GHz radars. The high spatial […]
Power sensors make high-speed, high-accuracy RF measurements up to 67 GHz
Rohde & Schwarz has increased the maximum measurable frequency of its three-path diode power sensors to 67 GHz. The three-path technology enables extremely fast and accurate power measurements with a high-sensitivity, portable instrument of minimum size and weight. This frequency extension makes high-speed power measurements possible for additional applications such as IEEE 802.11ay and 802.11ad […]
Compliance tests cover 2.5/5/10GBASE-T1 automotive Ethernet speeds
Rohde & Schwarz, together with connector and cable assembly manufacturer Rosenberger, have successfully demonstrated compliance testing for MultiGBASE-T1 supporting 2.5/5/10GBASE-T1 automotive Ethernet speeds, based on the OPEN Alliance TC9 working group test specification. This development enables vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers to have confidence in the performance of future, high-speed in-vehicle networks. Automotive applications such […]
System amplifier handles 2 GHz to 20 GHz range
A new system amplifier, designated R&S SAM100, sets new standards in ease of operation, robust design and super-compact footprint within the 2 – 20 GHz range with up to 20W output power. The SAM100 targets manufacturers of passive and active microwave components and microwave devices for mobile radio (UMTS, LTE, 4G and 5G), IoT (WLAN, […]
Rohde & Schwarz wins coveted 2020 Leap Award
Winners of the LEAP Awards (Leadership in Engineering Achievement Program) in the category of test & measurement include Rohde & Schwarz with its R&S RTP high-performance oscilloscope. The LEAP Awards honor innovative product technology in 12 categories. As determined by 14 industry judges hailing from institutions such as Steris Corp., the University of Missouri, and […]
Instrumentation handles active electronically scanned array radar testing
New test and measurement setups handle transmit-receive-module (TRM) performance validation in modern active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars found in the global aerospace and defense industry. Typical TRM test cases can be covered with a single Rohde & Schwarz network analyzer as a turnkey solution, such as the R&S ZNA. If higher performance–such as the […]
