Rohde & Schwarz submitted its latest 5G NR protocol conformance test cases to the Global Certification Forum (GCF) at the GCF CAG#72 meeting in October 2022 and successfully passed verification. The company now has over 500 GCF-certified protocol conformance test cases, illustrating the leadership of Rohde & Schwarz in 5G NR protocol conformance testing.

Rohde & Schwarz, the only supplier of fast diode sensors for power measurements up to 67 GHz, is increasing the maximum measurable frequency of diode power sensors to 90 GHz; higher than any other diode sensor currently available. The diode technology enables extremely fast and accurate power measurements with the highest sensitivity from a compact and light-weight portable instrument. High speed power measurements are now possible for all frequencies above 67 GHz in 5G, automotive radar and satellite communications applications including the entire E band.

European Formula Student teams can apply to Rohde & Schwarz before January 1, 2023 and borrow one of ten electronic test equipment packages for use throughout 2023. Each preconfigured package includes an oscilloscope and power supply.

Rohde & Schwarz welcomes visitors back to its home town at the electronica 2022 in hall A3 at booth 307 from November 15 to 18, 2022. The latest addition to the Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope portfolio, the new R&S MXO 4 series, will be given a special focus.

The voice and audio analysis expert HEAD acoustics has decided in favor of the 5G test solution from Rohde & Schwarz for verification of voice and audio services of 5G mobile devices. The upgraded R&S CMX500 5G one-box signaling tester features a significantly reduced footprint and easier handling combined with debugging and analysis capabilities, which support the end users’ testing of voice services.

To further exploit the huge potential of 5G, the wireless industry has continued to develop the standard up to Release 16, and development continues. But technology does not stand still, and even as 5G presses forward, a new generation of cellular technology is emerging.

Cubtek Inc. is using network analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz in the development of 4D imaging radar for RF measurement of the E-band. Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes and their independently developed, application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) provide the best measurement tools for automotive radar research and development.

The Oscilloscope Days educational event at Rohde & Schwarz continues to evolve, combining virtual sessions with a series of in-person events, called the School of Measurement. Starting with a digital kick-off on October 27, 2022, the series is set to last through 2023 with stops at multiple locations across Europe. It will cater to electronics engineers from Europe and beyond. Participation in the seminars is free.

Rohde & Schwarz is adding a completely new series to its oscilloscope portfolio that delivers a number of industry firsts. The new R&S MXO 4 series oscilloscopes feature the world’s fastest real-time update rate of over 4.5 million acquisitions per second. Development engineers can now see more signal detail and infrequent events than with any other oscilloscope.

Rohde & Schwarz presents an innovative signal generation and analysis solution for measurements in the D band that will significantly simplify early next generation mobile communications research. The new R&S FE170 frontend extensions are easy to mount to and configure with the R&S SMW200A vector signal generator and the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer. The extensions will allow the two high-end test instruments to cover frequency ranges between 110 GHz and 170 GHz – key spectrum for beyond 5G, for 6G technology and for future automotive radar applications.
