Radio conformance test systems ready for MIMO: Conformance test systems
Future mobile communications systems will have to provide high transmission rates for Internet and video applications. Advanced spatial multiplexing techniques such as MIMO offer the capabilities required. Now, the first RC test systems are available from Rohde&Schwarz for testing the corresponding base stations and terminal devices.

World’s first 3GPP and IMT-2000 scanner now also “understands” LTE: Coverage measurement systems
The R&S®TSMW-K29 LTE scanner option expands the R&S®TSMW universal radio network analyzer to meet 3GPP LTE requirements. It is the only scanner capable of simultaneously measuring the parameters of six mobile radio standards for all three ITU regions worldwide in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 6 GHz.

LTE drive tests in one of Germany’s first research mobile radio networks: Coverage measurement systems
The Technical University (TU) of Dresden is using an LTE research mobile radio network to investigate the range of individual sectors and the optimum tilt angles of antennas and to characterize individual channels by evaluating the channel impulse response. The R&S®TSMW universal radio network analyzer1) and a PC running the R&S®ROMES4 drive test software were installed in a test vehicle to obtain key data for this study.

WiMAX™ data throughput measurements with the R&S®CMW270: Radiocommunications testers
The R&S®CMW270 not only allows the theoretical data rates on a WiMAX™ air interface to be measured, but it also makes it possible to perform any kind of data throughput measurement. This includes, for example, testing of an application – using the R&S®CMW270 as a WiMAX™ base station emulator – and inspection of individual wireless modules in development and production.

Connect once and fully characterize active components: Network analyzers
To fully characterize active components, a wide variety of parameters has to be measured: from gain and matching to compression, harmonics and intermodulation. For many DUTs, these measurements have to be performed in pulse mode. With the new R&S®ZVAX24 extension unit, all this can be done with a single test setup.

Group delay measurements of frequency converters without LO access: Network analyzers
Group delay measurements of frequency converters without access to the local oscillator(s) of the mixers? Rohde&Schwarz has developed the ideal solution for this type of measurement: the two-tone method. The R&S®ZVA-K9 option makes this technique available in the R&S®ZVA and R&S®ZVT network analyzer families.
