With its solid RF performance, light weight and small footprint, the R&S^®FPL1000 spectrum analyzer combines the functionality of a benchtop instrument with the portability of a handheld instrument.

The R&S®FPC1500 is the only spectrum analyzer on the market that has a spectrum analyzer, vector network analyzer and signal generator all-in-one instrument. It has resolution bandwidth down to 1 Hz, built-in VSWR bridge, one-port VNA with Smith chart display and more.

Rohde & Schwarz has significantly expanded and optimized its R&S VENICE platform for live production, studio production and channel playout applications. R&S VENICE offers absolute stability and an enormous range of features. Its flexibility makes it a future-proof investment.

Rohde & Schwarz is expanding its oscilloscope portfolio with the R&S RTM3000 and R&S RTA4000 series. Their first-in-class, 10-bit vertical resolution enables power measurements fulfilling the more stringent requirements demanded by advanced electronics. The R&S RTA4000, is ideal for analyzing serial protocols, even offers an acquisition memory depth up to 1 Gsample. The RTM3000 oscilloscope offers bandwidths of 100 MHz, 200 MHz, 350 MHz, 500 MHz and 1 GHz.

Rohde & Schwarz is extending the functional range of its R&S SMW200A vector signal generator to include the DVB-S2 satellite standard and its extension DVB-S2X. The R&S SMW200A with the new option provides a simple solution for testing components, devices and satellites that support these standards. It is said to be the first single-device solution on the market to generate DVB-S2/DVB-S2X signals not only as IF signals below 6 GHz but also on transmission frequencies in the Ku-Band and other microwave bands up to 40 GHz.

Manufacturers who want to integrate wireless modules into their products now face completely new test requirements. The US's largest wireless network operator is the first to publish specific test plans for IoT integrators. In response, Rohde & Schwarz announces the availability of its new R&S TS 290 IoT carrier acceptance test system, which is based on these test plans. Claimed to be the only test solution of its kind, it offers RF, protocol and performance test cases in a single box.

The R&S ELEKTRA EMI test software has been designed for easy and intuitive EMI measurements during product development. It supports EMI test receivers and spectrum analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz. Even development engineers or technicians who only occasionally use these instruments to measure electromagnetic interference are able to configure automated test sequences quickly, often right in the development lab, using GTEM cells or line impedance stabilization networks (LISN).
