An instrument platform runs new Bluetooth LE test modes for Bluetooth LE 5.0. Similar to that for Bluetooth Classic, it allows manufacturers to perform all RF and pre-conformance tests on their Bluetooth LE components via the over the air interface (OTA). This simplifies testing considerably, as no additional control cable is required as would be […]

Test gear speeds development of CAT M1 and NB IoT modules
Virtual drive tests during the development phase of CAT M1 and NB IoT modules help find and fix problems at an earlier stage. New test setups also enable seamless cellular coverage and reliable connectivity before the integration process continues and further field tests are performed. Network-specific integration tests and field tests include analysis of unique […]
IEEE 802.11ax compliant WLAN signaling test setup handles SISO, MIMO, OFDMA modes
An IEEE 802.11ax test solution for WLAN access points in multi-user operation (OFDMA) employs an R&S CMW270 Wireless Connectivity Tester to test the RF characteristics of receivers and transmitters and to determine the data throughput in the transmit and receive directions. With an R&S CMW270 Wireless Connectivity Tester and the WLAN 11ax signaling test option, […]
Cloud/browser-based platform enables remote RF analysis
A cloud and browser-based application platform enables users to perform RF analysis remotely, without having to purchase a permanent software license. With R&S Cloud4Testing, users take advantage of different Rohde & Schwarz software solutions for testing – the only thing required is internet access and a valid subscription. R&S Cloud4Testing is an innovative software-as-a-service (SaaS) […]
Scopes get jitter decomposition feature to aid debugging efforts
A new option for the R&S RTO and R&S RTP oscilloscopes helps development engineers gain more insight into the individual jitter components of their transmission interface. Now they can separate jitter into its random and deterministic components and view results flexibly for effective debugging. The Rohde & Schwarz decomposition algorithm uses a parametric signal model […]
Chamber handles far-field radar tests
The R&S ATS1500C antenna test system is a test chamber for high-performance radar testing, offering an outstanding indirect far-field testing performance. The test system consists of the new, compact R&S ATS1500C automotive radar test chamber for far-field testing, in combination with the R&S AREG100A automotive radar echo generator for precise radar target simulation at various […]
Instrumentation checks out Wireless Emergency Alerts data
Rohde & Schwarz, in collaboration with LG Electronics Mobile Comm. U.S.A., Inc., have successfully verified Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) 3.0 features related to GEO-Fencing using an LG G8 ThinQ mobile smartphone. The new Enhanced Targeting Rules imposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, requires wireless providers to reach 100% of the […]
Validation for 5G comes to integrated LTE, WCDMA, GSM conformance test system family
The Global Certification Forum GCF and PTCRB certification organization have accepted first test-case validations in various FR1 and LTE band combinations using the new 5G RF conformance test system R&S “TS8980FTA-3A” from Rohde & Schwarz. The solution is the latest version of a successful family of RF conformance test systems and the only one in […]
