Test & Measurement

RIGOL Technologies has extended its RF Test Portfolio with the release of four new models of the DSG800 Series RF Signal Generator. The explosion of IoT connected devices has led to a significant increase in the amount of digital data being transmitted via local RF interfaces.

RIGOL Technologies has extended its RF Test Portfolio with the release of a lower cost Real-Time Spectrum Analyser. The RSA3000E Spectrum Analysers bring UltraReal real-time analysis to a new class of customer who previously had no access to this advanced capability.

A hardware-accelerated 5G mmWave OTA Validation Test reference architecture for thorough characterisation and validation of 5G mmWave beamforming AiP devices was unveiled by NI at European Microwave Week in Paris (October 1-3).

Upgraded 5G Protocol Test functions have been added to Anritsu’s MT8000A Radio Communication Test Station. The upgrade uses NR (New Radio) Fading software when implementing built-in baseband fading tests, making the MT8000A to provide support for 3GPP TS 38.521-4 B.1/B.2 V15.0.0-compliant 5G NR channel (TDL) model tests using NR Fading software implementing built-in baseband fading tests.

5G network emulation solutions from Keysight Technologies support the greatest number of 5G new radio (NR) test cases approved by PTCRB, enabling mobile device makers to efficiently accelerate 5G device certification.

Test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz has supplied mobile network testing tools used in drone-based network coverage, performance and operation tests managed by Ericsson. The procedure enables 3D accessibility, positional accuracy and repeatability of the testing.

A single box, multi-channel solution for wideband mmWave measurements.ew available functionality has been introduced for the Keysight Technologies UXR-Series of oscilloscopes. It delivers fast, affordable, coherent analysis for wideband measurements up to 110GHz, accelerating development of next generation mmWave communications, satellite communications and radar applications.

In collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz has successfully verified an A-GPS control-plane LPP test session over 5G NR using a device powered by the Snapdragon X55 5G modem and Qualcomm RF Front-end solutions.

Pico Technology has introduced the PicoScope 9404-16 SXRTO, a 16 GHz sampler-extended real-time oscilloscope at what it describes as “an even more compelling low price point”. The new model joins the 5GHz 9404-05 model launched earlier this year.

The latest line of Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs) from Spectrum Instrumentation is based on the LXI instrumentation standard and has been created for engineers and scientists that need to simultaneously generate up to 16 precise electronic signals. Small and compact, the units are ideal in automated testing or remote-control type applications.
