The Global Certification Forum GCF and PTCRB certification organization have accepted first test case validations in various FR1 and LTE band combinations using the new Rohde & Schwarz R&S TS RRM 5G radio resource management (RRM) conformance test system. The solution is the latest addition to a successful family of RRM conformance test systems.

At the leading trade show for the embedded industry in Nuremberg, Rohde & Schwarz will highlight its T&M solutions for embedded designs in the automotive sector and high speed digital interfaces. The T&M expert will demonstrate trendsetting Bluetooth T&M solutions^® and innovative solutions for power, EMC and power integrity measurements. The company is also celebrating ten years of Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes.

A new option for the R&S RTO and R&S RTP oscilloscopes helps development engineers gain more insight into the individual jitter components of their transmission interface. Now they can separate jitter into its random and deterministic components and view results flexibly for effective debugging. The Rohde & Schwarz decomposition algorithm uses a parametric signal model for accurate measurements and additional result representations.

Rohde & Schwarz presents a comprehensive look at its test and measurement portfolio for wireless communications technology and secure networks at MWC2020 in Barcelona. While the company’s full test solutions for 5G devices and base stations, as well as for latest 5G mobile networks will be the main attraction, the connectivity specialist will also demonstrate its solutions for connected cars, smart factories and 5G broadcast technology. In addition, software-defined WAN and cybersecurity solutions will round out the display.

Test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz and semiconductor manufacturer Marvell have demonstrated successfully compliance tests and debugging for high-speed digital interfaces on the 88Q6113 multi-gigabit automotive switch platform.

GNSS signals (for example GPS signals) are of major importance for positioning and tracking, orientation and safety-related information, such as congestion, in road traffic. A collaboration between AVL and Rohde & Schwarz, two of the world’s leading providers of measuring and automotive testing systems, now permits the reproduction of realistic GNSS reception conditions for testbed vehicle testing. As a result, users can reliably test all aspects of GNSS-based vehicle positioning – a core functionality of autonomous vehicles.

Leading IoT solutions provider Sierra Wireless has selected the compact antenna test range (CATR) based R&S ATS1800C for mmWave frequencies (FR2) testing thanks to its class-leading characteristics. The transportable solution from Rohde & Schwarz features a state-of-the-art golden CATR reflector with rolled edges and a very smooth surface to minimize scattering and to provide precise measurement results as required for operation at high frequencies.

Rohde & Schwarz has developed the leading-edge R&S ATS1500C antenna test system, a test chamber for high performance radar testing, offering an outstanding indirect far-field testing performance. This innovation allowed Uhnder to mature the technology behind the first 4D digital automotive radar-on-chip with 192 virtual channels.

Rohde & Schwarz has entered an agreement with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, for the use of their Interface Control Document for 5G as an authorized licensee to develop test equipment based on Qualcomm^® Snapdragon™ X55 5G Modem-RF System.

The Global Certification Forum GCF and PTCRB certification organization have accepted first test case validations in various FR1 and LTE band combinations using the new 5G RF conformance test system R&S "TS8980FTA-3A" from Rohde & Schwarz. The solution is the latest version of a successful family of RF conformance test systems and the only one in the market supporting mobile technologies all the way from 2G to 5G on one platform.
