China Mobile Research Institute, the R&D division of China Mobile, and Rohde & Schwarz have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for collaborating on the research of TD-LTE testing technology and test system development. The MoU highlights the cooperation on joint research in TD-LTE testing technology and test instrument...

The R&S SGS100A, a new signal generator from Rohde & Schwarz , is claimed to enable production lines to work faster and more cost-effectively. It covers the frequency range from DC to 12.75 GHz and has been optimized for use in automated test systems. The signal source is compact...

With the R&S ZNB and R&S ZNC Rohde & Schwarz claims to redefine network analysis with wider dynamic range, short measurement times and ease of use. The new analyzers featuring a dynamic range up to 140 dB, a sweep time of 4 ms with 401 points and good stability....

Rohde & Schwarz has added new functions to its R&S®BBA100 broadband amplifier family to create a one-box solution. Integrated RF output switches and sample port switches allow the amplifiers to be used for many applications without the need for external switching matrices. Existing third-party amplifiers can also be integrated...

Rohde & Schwarz has developed a new method that accurately measures group delay and phase linearity on satellite links. With the new R&S ZVA-K10 software option, users can perform measurements using two network analyzers located at separate sites. In open-area tests, for example, the analyzers can bridge long distances...

The first LTE-FDD and TD-LTE networks are being rolled out in Europe, the USA and in Asia. These new wireless communications standards have extremely high data rates – up to 100 Mbit/s – that allow high-speed mobile internet access. Rohde & Schwarz offers the T&M equipment to ensure the...

The R&S TS8950G and R&S TS8980S RF test systems from Rohde & Schwarz now allow conformance and precompliance testing for VAMOS. Using VAMOS, network operators can double the channel capacity of GSM base stations. To ensure that the introduction of VAMOS runs smoothly, the 3GPP standardization committee will adopt...

The field-proven R&S SMBV100A from Rohde & Schwarz sets new standards in satellite simulation. With the addition of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) simulator to this flexible, multi-purpose vector signal generator, the R&S SMBV100A can now generate customized scenarios for GPS and Galileo from up to 12 satellites...

To characterize Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers, a number of typical tests are used. These tests check how quickly a receiver can fix its position after it is switched on, or how accurately the calculated position matches its actual position. Users normally perform a complete series of tests...

The flexibility of Rohde & Schwarz’ new R&S MMRS radiocommunications system allows armed forces to adapt the system and its configuration to diverse military mission scenarios, making the system equally suitable for use as field headquarters, a mobile ATC system, a radio station and a relay station. Field soldiers...
