CATARC (Tianjin) Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co.,Ltd. has selected leading global test and measurement supplier Rohde & Schwarz to supply a full vehicle antenna test (FVAT) system and support services. The system is required to optimize the performance and location of antenna modules, verify compliance with wireless and EMC standards and ensure proper operation of a vehicle’s wireless system. These aspects are essential for the development of emerging technologies such as autonomous driving.

In order to reduce complexity, costs and efforts for TRM testing, Rohde & Schwarz concentrates on test and measurement solutions to maximize the performance of AESA designs with highest precision instruments and automation of complex test scenarios.

Bandwidth is the most important aspect of an oscilloscope. To support design engineers in current and future design challenges, Rohde & Schwarz is introducing an attractive promotion for selected oscilloscope models: when purchasing an R&S RTO2000 or R&S RTP, now customers can upgrade the bandwidth with no extra costs.

The SkyBridge Tools test manager system now supports the R&S Cable Rider ZPH for on-site base-station testing and RF network analysis. Technicians using the low-cost analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz in combination with SkyBridge Tools can reduce the time associated with testing and verifying distributed antenna systems (DAS) by as much as 90%.

With the new R&S FSW-B8001 option, the well-established R&S FSW high-end signal and spectrum analyzer now supports an industry-leading 8.3 GHz internal analysis bandwidth, offering unequaled dynamic range and sensitivity. Design engineers developing latest radar and wireless communications technologies as well as future satellite systems will benefit significantly from the extended bandwidth available in a one-box solution.

Utilizing the R&S CMW500 and the R&S CMX500 wideband radio communication testers, Cooper General now offers support and repair services for both 4G/LTE and 5G devices.

Uniting the worlds of 4G and 5G, the R&S CMX500 radio communication tester delivers a smooth upgrade path from LTE to 5G NR device testing.

Rohde & Schwarz fulfills the certification entry criteria (CEC) for a greatly increased number of the Global Certification Forum's (GCF) work items (WI) and PCS Type Certification Review Board (PTCRB) requests for 5G FR1 RF conformance testing. Thanks to 572 new GCF validations and 215 new PTCRB validations for the R&S TS8980FTA 3A, the updated version of the leading RF test system R&S TS8980 can now perform a broad range of 5G device certification tests.

With radar, lidar and camera sensors present in automobiles, time sensitivity on networks becomes extremely important, as vast amounts of sensor data need to be transferred and processed within a few milliseconds. Test and measurement expert Rohde & Schwarz and time-sensitive networks specialist, TSN Systems have successfully cooperated on precise timing measurements for in-vehicle networks using automotive Ethernet 100BASE-T1.

Test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz has recently introduced the R&S PWC200, the first plane wave converter (PWC) on the market. Verkotan is the first independent test house to choose this technology to test 5G NR FR1 base stations over-the-air (OTA).
