Andreas Pauly has taken over as Executive Vice President of the Test and Measurement Division at Rohde & Schwarz.

Rohde & Schwarz will supply test and measurement solutions to Qualcomm Technologies to produce engineering samples of its SDR051 5G RF transceiver in readiness for 5G deployment.

The new R&S RT-ZVC02/04 multichannel power probe can measure across large current and voltage ranges without having to switch ranges, making it possible to monitor the power consumption of chipsets, radio modules and wearables such as smartwatches. When used in combination with an R&S RTE or R&S RTO oscilloscope, the current drain can be clearly correlated with analog and digital control signals, enabling developers to optimize the battery life of such wearables and wireless devices early in the development cycle.
