This is the story of how a two-man laboratory grew into a global group of companies, how international success was achieved and how it is all connected to the history of microwaves. Even before starting their company, Dr. Lothar Rohde and Dr. Hermann Schwarz jointly developed their first measurement...

The demand for products and systems that can operate at higher frequencies is increasing with the higher frequency bands being utilized for important applications such as vehicle distance radar (77 GHz) and aerospace and defense applications (94 GHz). This creates demand for higher frequency measurement and testing. To address...

The network analyzer has established itself as an important tool in the development and production of RF and microwave equipment. It allows RF components to be almost completely characterized, which is otherwise only possible through considerable effort and by using several test instruments. Today, however, the demand for higher...

Recognition that the key requirements of test equipment used in an automated production environment are high throughput and reproducibility has led to the development of the R&S SMATE 200A vector signal generator. Designed as an optimum solution, this instrument features short setting times for frequency and level changes plus...
