EuMW 2008: “Pushing the Limits” of Microwave Test and Measurement

At European Microwave Week in Amsterdam this October, Rohde & Schwarz will demonstrate network analysis performance up to 325 GHz, power analysis with signal generators, and many innovations for MIMO, WiMAX and 3GPP LTE. In addition, the T&M specialist will prove that top performance and top features are within reach of users with medium-size budgets. Rohde & Schwarz will be located in Hall 2, Booth 803/805.

R&S FSV – a new signal analyzer sets standards in the mid-range The new R&S FSV from Rohde & Schwarz makes its market debut as the fastest and most accurate mid-range signal analyzer available today. Virtually all of its performance characteristics exceed those offered by other instruments in its class. In addition, the R&S FSV is alone in offering an analysis bandwidth of 40 MHz. This means it covers a wide range of wireless standards – from 3GPP LTE up to WLAN 802.11n. Moreover, the R&S FSV makes measurements more user-friendly with an innovative operating concept that includes a touch screen. The R&S FSV is a powerful analyzer for development and production.

Network analyzer plus millimeter-wave converter from a single source enables measurement of extremely high frequencies With the new R&S ZV-Z325 mm-wave converter, Rohde & Schwarz adds the 220 GHz to 325 GHz frequency range to its network analyzers. This range is important for the characterization of wafer components or materials as well as for mm-wave imaging. The converter connects directly to Rohde & Schwarz high-end network analyzers. The instruments are perfectly adapted to each other, which results in exceptional operating convenience. Moreover, when performing multiport measurements at extremely high frequencies, users can for the first time connect as many as four converters to the network analyzers.

R&S SMF100A/R&S SMA100A – configuring pulse trains and analyzing signal Power Following its successful introduction of pulse train generation and power analysis capability in the R&S SMF100A, Rohde & Schwarz is now also adding these two capabilities to its analog R&S SMA100A high-end signal generator: The pulse train option enables users to configure their own pulse trains for radar development and radar tests. This option makes use of the full dynamic range and speed of the pulse generator and pulse modulator, which can optionally be integrated into the signal generators. The power analysis option is a unique enhancement worldwide and enables the R&S SMF100A or R&S SMA100A generators to perform power analyses such as compression point or frequency response measurements on DUTs. The measurement results can be displayed, read out, and saved. To implement this feature, users simply have to connect a power sensor from the R&S NRP-Z family to the instruments.
