The end-user quality of experience (QoE) of a mobile network is one the main factors influencing customer churn and has a direct impact on the business of mobile network operators (MNOs).

Rohde & Schwarz brings exceptional insight in wireless communications testing and a deep understanding of the entire mobile ecosystem to life at the Mobile World Congress 2023 in Barcelona. Under the motto “Test. Measure. Innovate.” the company will present its exciting and innovative portfolio of mobile and wireless communications testing solutions.

At DesignCon 2023, Rohde & Schwarz will not only showcase live demos covering the latest industry trends, attendees will also be able to test their knowledge at the interactive Rohde & Schwarz “Are you a genius?” Digital Debug Design challenge. Plus, Rohde & Schwarz will offer a full-day workshop in cooperation with industry experts such as Samtec, ataitec, Clear Signal Solutions, and Missouri University of Science & Technology.

Rohde & Schwarz introduces improved performance for phase noise analysis and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) measurements. Both the high end R&S FSWP phase noise analyzer and VCO tester plus signal and spectrum analyzer in one instrument, and the R&S FSPN dedicated phase noise analyzer and VCO tester, are now upgraded.

For high-speed, high-throughput testing of all forms of 5G FR1 base stations and small cells as well as for RF components characterization or production, Rohde & Schwarz introduces the new R&S PVT360A performance vector tester.

The third virtual Demystifying EMC conference will take place in February 2023, bringing together experts from around the world to expand global EMC knowledge. Live online presentations from industry leaders and high-quality virtual training sessions broadcast across three time zones followed by a series of in-person events in different regions of the world.

The development of sub-THz communications as envisioned for 6G will only be possible with a solid understanding of the properties of electromagnetic wave propagation. The new frequency range between 100 GHz and 330 GHz gains worldwide interest and thus has been the focus of recent Rohde & Schwarz measurement campaigns.

At CES 2023 in Las Vegas, Rohde & Schwarz will present the R&S ATS1500C radar test chamber - a complete test solution for interference and RF performance testing of automotive radar sensors, the primary technology that enables Autonomous Driving. Another highlight will be ultra-wideband testing solution for smartphone and automotive applications using the R&S CMP200 radio communication tester in combination with the R&S ATS800R anechoic chamber.

At the recent i14y Lab Open RAN services and platforms PlugFest, which was part of the O-RAN ALLIANCE Global PlugFest Fall 2022, Rohde & Schwarz and VIAVI Solutions have combined their industry-leading capabilities to deliver an integrated solution for conformance testing of O-RAN Radio Units (O-RUs).

Rohde & Schwarz and Broadcom have successfully validated the R&S CMP180 radio communication tester for Broadcom Wi-Fi 7 chipsets. OEMs and ODMs of wireless devices can now get their first Wi-Fi 7 products ready for market.
